FUEL LINE FILTER
IN-LINE FILTER
All VENTRAC 3000’s have an in-line fuel filter
(Figure 1) located next to the fuel tank.
Always use clean, fresh fuel. Keep the fill area clean
and the fuel cap in place except for filling. If or when
any of the above conditions are not met or the engine
lacks power, especially under load, the fuel filter
should be checked. If the in-line filter needs to be
replaced, be sure to install the new one with the flow
arrow pointing toward the engine.
TRANSAXLES
Rear transaxle is prefilled. Oil level should allow for
expansion from heat without over-flowing through
the vented cap on top of case. This oil level will
remain constant unless leakage occurs. Oil level
when cold to be 1-1/2” (4 cm) from top of the
transaxle housing. Note: side plug can be used to fill
and determine “full” on rear transaxle.
Front transaxle has an oil tank, vented cap, and
dipstick (Figure 2). Never fill oil above high level
on dipstick. Heat expansion could cause unwanted
over flow.
Additional oil may be required when new
attachments are connected to the auxiliary circuit
(optional). The attachment components are shipped
without oil. Additional oil is needed only after the
initial hook up.
