Engine oil: Rimula 15W40 recommended or 10W40 engine oil rated SJ or higher.
Hydrostatic Fluid: Rimula 15W40 recommended. To fill the expansion tank to proper level, about 1” above
the tank bottom where “cold”. If the filter and fluid are removed, a new filter should be used and the transaxle
filled via the expansion tank with Rimula 15W40.
Spindle Lubricant: Use only Shell Alvania RL 2 grease. This grease is an amber-colored grease designed for
high speed bearing applications. It has a base oil viscosity that reduces running losses, has been formulated
for low noise, has excellent corrosion protection, and has excellent bearing lubrication.
General Purpose Lubrication: Use any NLGI grade 2 multi-purpose grease. Shell Albida EP2 is recom-
mended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a red-colored multi-purpose grease designed for heavy-duty bearing applica-
tions. It has high base oil viscosity for mechanical stability, has been formulated for high load, low-speed
applications, and has excellent lubrication and corrosion protection.
