Checking Transmission Oil Level

Hot hydraulic oil will expand and show incorrect oil level. Check oil level:

• When oil is cold.

• With engine not running.

Do not overfill reservoir tank. Oil will expand during operation and could overflow.

  1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

  2. Lift operator seat and lock into position.

  3. Do not use chlorinated solvents or high pressure water to clean grass and debris from transmission reservoir cap.

    Clean area around oil level markings and reservoir cap.

  4. TCAL43539
    TCAL43539-UN-21MAR13

    Check oil level in reservoir (A). Oil level should be between MIN (B) and MAX (C) on reservoir.


  5. If oil is below MIN (B) on reservoir, remove cap (D) from reservoir and add oil until oil level is between MIN and MAX on reservoir.

  6. Install cap on reservoir and hand tighten only. Do not overtighten cap.
