Check Transaxle / Hydraulic
Fluid
The transaxle reservoir is filled with Dexron IIl ATF. Check
level before engine is first started and every 8 hours or
daily, thereafter. Capacity of system is 7.5 qt.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean area around dipstick.
3. Unscrew dipstick from top of transaxle and wipe it with
a clean rag.

4. Screw dipstick into transaxle and make sure it is seated
fully. Unscrew dipstick and check fluid level. Fluid
should be up to top of flat portion of dipstick. If level is
low, add enough fluid to achieve the proper level.
Check Front Differential Oil
Four wheel drive only
The differential is filled with 10W30 oil. Check level of oil
every 100 hours or monthly. Capacity of system is 1 qt.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Clean area around fill/check plug on side of differential.
3. Remove fill/check plug and check level of oil. Oil
should be up to hole. If oil is low, add 10W30 oil.
4. Re–install fill/check plug.

Check Torque Of Wheel Nuts
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in failure or loss of wheel and
may result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to
55–75 ft.-lb. after 1–4 hours of operation and again
after 10 hours of operation. Torque every 200
hours thereafter.
Warning
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to assure proper
levels.
Maximum air pressure in front tires is 20 psi and rear (24”)
tires is 18 psi.
1. The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried.
2. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction and
tire marks are minimized. Lower pressure should not be
used for heavy payloads at high speeds. Tire damage
may result.
3. Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
