SERVICING YOUR SNOWBLOWER
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
Check the hydrostatic fluid level in the reservoir.
Hydrostatic fluid expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
The UPPER and LOWER limit marks on the reservoir are calibrated for
room temperature fluid.
It is normal for the fluid level to rise above the UPPER level mark when
snowblower operation warms the transmission.
When checking the level of cold fluid, below room temperature, refer to
the temperature chart for appropriate fluid levels (see page
42).
At temperatures below –4°F (–20°C), fluid may not be visible in the
reservoir before operation, but should rise into the reservoir when the
transmission warms up.
