it with Exmark Premium Hydro oil and apply
a thin coat of oil on the surface of the rubber
seal.

2/3 to 3/4 turn.

5. Raise the rear of machine up and support with
jack stands (or equivalent support) just high
enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.
6. Start engine and move throttle control ahead to
full throttle position. Move the speed control
levers to the full speed and run for several
minutes. Shut down machine and recheck oil
level.
Note: Do Not change hydraulic system oil (except
for what can be drained when changing filter), unless
it is felt the oil has been contaminated or been
extremely hot.
Changing oil unnecessarily could damage hydraulic
system by introducing contaminates into the system.
