Hazard Light Flasher Relay
The flasher relay, which controls the on/off flashing

Replace the relay as follows:
• Pull the wire harness from the right side of the
dash opening and remove the electrical tape
from the flasher relay. See Figure 43.
Figure 43
• Note the position of the two harness leads, then
disconnect the leads and replace the faulty
relay with a new relay. Secure the relay to the
wire harness with electrical tape.
• Position the wire harness in the dash panel and
reinstall the dash panel insert.
CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
Check the hydro transmission/hydraulic system oil
level before each use. NOTE: Check the oil level
only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is
standing on a level surface.
The oil level sight glass is located in the rear of the
transmission housing, just to the right of the rear
PTO shaft. See Figure 44.
Figure 44
The oil level is okay if oil can be seen through the
sight glass. If the level is below the sight glass, oil
must be added to the transmission as follows:
• Locate the oil fill plug on the upper right of the
rear of the transmission housing. See Figure 44.
• Clean the area around the oil fill plug to prevent
debris from entering the transmission housing.
• Turn the oil fill plug counterclockwise to unscrew
from the transmission housing.
• Insert a funnel (preferably with a flexible spout)
into the fill hole of the transmission housing.
• Add Cub Cadet Drive System Plus oil until the
oil level can be seen through the sight glass.
Do not overfill the transmission.
IMPORTANT: Always use Cub Cadet Drive
System Plus oil to ensure correct formulation.
Substitute oils could affect performance and
may cause damage to the transmission.
• Reinsert the oil fill plug into the transmission
housing and turn clockwise until tight.
CHANGING THE HYDRO TRANSMISSION AND
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL FILTERS
With the exception of the first oil filter change after
the 25 hour break-in period, the hydraulic system oil
filter should be changed along with the
transmission/hydraulic system oil after every 200
hours of operation. The hydro transmission filter
should be changed after every 100 hours of
operation.
