register between the marked hole on the
dipstick and the end of the dipstick.

Oil. DO NOT OVER FILL. When
checking the oil level, be very careful to
keep the reservoir clean
Change the oil in the reservoir and
hydrostatic transmission filter after the
first 100 hours of use, then every 500

lever against the stop, remove the cotter
pin from the castle nut. Insert a 0.010

the brake puck. Tighten the castle nut
with the feeler gauge inserted until the
gauge fits snugly«between the disc and
puck. The gap should not be so tight that
the feeler gauge cannot be reinserted
after removal. Back the castle nut to the
closest pin hole and reinsert the cotter pin.
