Re-install the drain plug into the tee fitting and be 
3. 
sure it is tight.
- NOTE -
Before  refilling  the  hydraulic  oil  reservoir  the 
hydraulic oil filter should be changed as outlined 
in  Procedure  C  "Changing  Hydraulic  Oil  Filter 
Element".
Fill the reservoir to 2" inches from the top of the filler 
4. 
neck with 20W50 motor oil.
Replace the reservoir fill cap. Start the engine and 
5. 
drive forward and backward for two minutes. Check 
the oil level in the reservoir. If necessary, add oil to 
the reservoir.
C. CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER 
ELEMENT
The hydraulic oil filter should be changed after every 500 
hours of operation or annually, whichever occurs first.
Remove the oil filter element and properly discard it. 
1. 
See Figure 7-2. Fill the new filter with clean oil and 
install the filter. Hand tighten only.
Run the engine at idle speed with the speed control 
2. 
lever in neutral for five minutes.
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank. It must be 
3. 
2" inches from the top of the filler neck. If necessary, 
add SAE 20W50 motor oil.

A. CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEvEL
The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first 8 
hours  of  operation. Thereafter,  check  the  oil  after  every 
200  hours  of  machine  operation  or  monthly,  whichever 
occurs first.
- IMPORTANT -
If the oil level is consistently low, check for leaks 
and correct immediately.
Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the 
1. 
reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil 
reservoir.
Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic 
2. 
oil must be at least 2" inches from top of the filler 
neck. If the level cannot be determined visually, 
use a clean tape measure to check the level. If the 
fluid is low, add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT overfill; 
(overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil seepage 
around the cap area).
Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.

B. CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500 hours 
or annually, whichever occurs first. The oil should also be 
changed if the color of the fluid has become black or milky. 
A black color and/or a rancid odor usually indicates possible 
overheating of the oil, and a milky color usually indicates 
water in the hydraulic oil.
- IMPORTANT -
The hydraulic oil should be changed if you notice 
the  presence  of  water  or  a  rancid  odor  to  the 
hydraulic oil.
Park the mower on a level surface and stop the 
1. 
engine.
Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil 
2. 
drain. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir. Remove 
the drain cap from the tee fitting located on the 
hydraulic system filter head. See Figure 7-2. Allow 
the fluid to drain into the container and properly 
discard it.
