 1.  Check the oil level when the unit is cold.  Locate the 

transmission oil reservoirs (A, Figure 24) located on the 
seat support plate.  The oil should be up to the “FULL 
COLD” mark (B).  If the oil is below this level, proceed 
to step 2.  

 2.  Before removing the reservoir caps, make sure the area 

around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is 
free of dust, dirt, or other debris.  Remove the reservoir 
cap.  

 3.  Add oil up to the “FULL COLD” mark (B).  

 4.  Reinstall the reservoir caps.

Change Interval: Every 200 Hours
