Temperature/viscosity recommendations are:
Expected Ambient
Temperature
(Extreme) over 32° C SAE 30, Type SF/CC or CD
engine oil
(Normal) 4–37° C SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40,
Type SF/CC or CD engine oil
(Cool) –1 to 10° C SAE 5W-30, Type SF/CC or
CD engine oil
(Winter) Below –1° C Type “F” or “FA” ATF
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Note: Do not mix engine oil and automatic
transmission fluid or hydraulic system component
damage may result. When changing fluids, also
change transmission filter. Do not use Dexron II ATF.
Note: Cold weather start-up may result in “stiff”
steering until the hydraulic system has warmed up.
Using a proper weight hydraulic oil minimizes this
condition.
The transmission and axle housing are shipped from
the factory with approximately 5 quarts (4.7 l) of SAE
10W-30 engine oil. However, check the level of
transmission oil before first starting the engine and
daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the
implement, and stop the engine.
2. Unscrew the dipstick cap (Fig. 7) from the filler
neck and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw the
dipstick cap finger-tight onto the filler neck, then
unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level. If
the level is not within
1
⁄2 in. (13 mm) from the
groove in the dipstick (Fig. 7), add enough oil to
raise the level to the groove mark. Do not overfill
by more than
1
⁄2 in. (13 mm) above the groove.
When adding oil to the hydraulic
system, use a funnel with a fine wire screen—
200 mesh—and ensure the funnel and oil are
immaculately clean. This procedure prevents
accidental contamination of the hydraulic system.
3. Screw the dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto the
filler neck. It is not necessary to tighten the cap
with a wrench.
4. Lower the implement.
