CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL AND FILTER SERVICE

SERVICE INTERVALS:

1 . Initial oil and filter service - 50 hours.
2. Every 250 hours thereafter.

OIL REQUIREMENTS:

Any high quality engine oil with an API classification of SG/CD is
recommended.

RECOMMENDED OIL WEIGHT:

Normal operation temperatures - 20 W 50

Cold climate usage - 10 W 40

Another alternative that will provide excellent all climate
performance and extended time between oil changes is a
15 W 50 synthetic engine oil.

OIL FILTER:

P/N 5565 - IMPORTANT

The oil filter is a special 10

micron design for use on
"vacuum or suction" oil flow
systems.

DO NOT:

Use automotive engine oil filters.

These filters require a "pressure"
to allow oil flow. Usage will result
in an "air-lock" condition with
possible damage.
