Check Transmission Fluid

The front axle housing acts as the reservoir for the trans-

mission. The transmission and axle housing hold about

5 quarts (4.7 L) of Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid. Check level

of transmission oil daily.

1. Position machine on a level surface, lower cutting

units, and stop the engine.

2. Remove floor panel.

3. Unscrew dipstick cap from the transmission filler

neck; wipe it with a clean rag. Screw dipstick into filler

neck. Remove dipstick and check level of oil. If level is

not within 1/2 inch (1.3 c m) from the groove in the dip-

stick, add enough oil to raise the level to the groove

mark. Do not overfill by more than 1/4 inch (0.6 cm)

above the groove.

4. Screw dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto filler neck.

It is not necessary to tighten cap with a wrench.
