How Do You Change Transaxle Fluid

This transaxle is designed with an external filter for ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality levelsand longer life, an oil filter change interval of every 200 hours is recommended.

The following procedure is performed with the transaxles installed in the mower and the mower on level ground. Apply the pump release valve for each transaxle and set the parking brake.

1.

Remove the three ¼" filter guard screws and filter

guard. Clean any loose debris from around the

perimeter of the filter. See illustration.

2.

Place an oil drain pan (12" or more diameter and

8 qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter.

Remove the oil filter from the transaxle.

Drain old oil filters of all free-flowing oil prior

to disposal. Place used oil in appropriate

containers and dispose of it in accordance

with laws in your area.

3.

After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base

surface and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of

the replacement filter.

4.

Install the new filter by hand, turning it three-

quarters to one full turn after the filter gasket

contacts the filter base surface.

5.

Reinstall the filter guard. Torque screws to

65 in/lbs. each.

6.

Repeat steps on the opposite side.

7.

Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to

disposal. Place used oil in appropriate containers

and dispose of it in accordance with laws in your

area.

8.

Remove the top port plug (see illustration) from

the left side and right side of the transaxles prior

to filling with oil. This will allow the transaxles to

vent during oil fill.

9.

Remove the cap from the transaxles' expansion

tank located on the vehicle frame
