3. Locate the left-hand and right-hand reservoirs at the rear of the
machine. Each transmission has its own reservoir.
4. The reservoirs have two marks, FULL (A) and ADD (B). Check
level with uid cold.
5. If oil level is below the ADD line (B), clean area around reservoir
cap and remove cap (C).
6. Remove foam insert.
7. Add oil until level is at FULL mark (A) on reservoir.
8. Install foam insert.
9. Install cap (C).
10. Start engine.
11. Operate machine forward and in reverse several times.
12. Park machine safely on a level surface. (See Parking Safely in the
SAFETY section.)
13. Wait for hydraulic oil to cool.
14. Check oil level again. Add oil if necessary.
Changing Transaxle Oil and Filter
The transaxles on these models require no maintenance. If you suspect
transmission problems, contact your authorized dealer.
Checking and Adjusting Neutral Creep
Check neutral creep with engine running, motion control levers in the
start/shutdown position, park brake off, and machine on level ground.
If the machine creeps forward or reverse while motion control levers are
in the start/shutdown position, adjust the motion control lever linkages:
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)
2. Remove style panel for better access to adjustment components (if
desired). (See Removing and Installing Style Cover in the
SERVICE MISCELLANEOUS section.):

Right side of machine shown with machine parts removed for a clearer image.
3. On linkage side needing adjustment (right side shown), remove
spring locking clip (A) and rod end (B) from pivot pin (C). Turn rod
end (B) on rod (D) in (clockwise) to decrease forward creep and out
(counterclockwise) to decrease reverse creep. Repeat procedure,
as necessary, on opposite side. Install rod ends back onto arms
and secure with spring locking clips.
Adjusting Tracking
If the machine does not track in a straight line while going in full forward
position, the tracking requires adjustment.
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Adjust tracking with the 13 mm socket on the free end of the deck
height adjustment lock pin (A) as follows:
NOTE: Tracking bolts limit top forward speed. If both levers hit against
the tracking bolts, turn both bolts counterclockwise equal
amounts until only one bolt contacts the lever. This will achieve
maximum forward speed.
• If machine tracks to the left, turn tracking bolt (B) clockwise.
• If machine tracks to the right, turn tracking bolt (C) clockwise.
