HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL & FILTER SERVICE:
If transmission is to be serviced, proper air
purging procedures must be followed, or
damage will occur.
1. Remove oil filter from chassis allowing
oil to drain into container. Clean
impurities from inside of reservoir,
if necessary.
2. Fill new filter with oil (not doing so can
cause air pocket in system and possible
hydro damage). Install new oil filter to
chassis. Use only genuine Dixon
replacement oil filter. (Using any other
brand of oil filter may not be internally
compatible and could cause damage to
hydrostat transmission.)
3. Put fresh oil in reservoir. Fill reservoir
to full mark.
4. Remove two oil return hoses from top
of oil reservoir and direct these hoses
into a container for oil draining.
