HYDROSTAT FLUID MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE:
Check the fluid level in hydrostatic transmission fluid
reservoir after every 25 hours of usage. Clean the fluid
reservoir cap and the area around it prior to removal.
Check the fluid level. Fluid should be approximately
1/4” below top of fluid tank baffle. Replenish as needed
with 15W-50 Synthetic Hydrostatic Fluid. DO NOT
OVERFILL. When checking the fluid level, be very
careful to keep the reservoir clean.
Change the fluid in the reservoir and hydrostatic
transmission fluid filter after the first 100 hours of use,
then every 500 hours after that. Remove the filter and
be sure all fluid has drained from the reservoir. Replace
with a new OEM filter (P/N 539 102606) and 15W-50
Synthetic Hydrostatic Fluid.
DO NOT USE OR ADD STANDARD (RED) HYDRAULIC/
TRANSMISSION OIL IN YOUR DIXON HYDROSTATIC
DRIVE. DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE COMPONENTS MAY
OCCUR. USE ONLY APPROVED 15W-50 SYNTHETIC
HYDROSTATIC FLUID OR 20W-50 TYPE ENGINE OIL.
