Check the level of fluid in both of the fluid
reservoirs. Wipe away all dirt and debris from
around reservoir cap before removing. Oil must
remain absolutely cleant Check with mower on a
level surface with engine "OFF". Fill reservoir as
needed to bring level up to 1-1/2 inches below
the top of the filler neck. Use clean, fresh
premium hydraulic oil having a viscosity
equivalent to SAE 20W-20, SAE 30 or SAE 40.
The fluid should be chemically stable,
incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors. Make
sure funnels, pouring spouts and oil can are
completely clean. Reinstall reservoir cap. See
Figure 3.6. IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove or
service the transaxle fluid filters. This service
should be made periodically by an authorized
