TRANSAXLES Inattention to proper safety, operation, or maintenance procedures could result in personal injury, or damage to the equipment. Jacobsen recommends returning the machine to your authorized CGC, Inc. dealer for service or repair. Perform transaxle maintenance with the engine off, spark plug wires disconnected and PTO disengaged. TRANSAXLE FLUID CHANGE Change the transaxle fluid every 200 hours of operation. It is essential that the exterior of the transaxle be free of debris, prior to fluid maintenance. 1. Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter guard A. Remove the oil filter B from the transaxle and discard. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local requirements. 2. Wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface. 3. Re-install the filter guard and torque the three screws to 65 in. Ibs. each. 4. Remove cap C, fill the transaxles through the expansion tank D with approximately 2 quarts of SAE 20W-50 engine oil PER TRANSAXLE. Do not overfill! If you overfill the transaxle while the unit is "cold", it may overflow as it reaches normal operating temperatures. The oil level should not be above the manufacturer's suggestions. This will allow the space needed for the oil to expand as it warms up. 5. After starting engine, check the fluid level and continue to add oil to overflow tank D to fill line on tank. 6. Purge the transaxles, following the purging procedures on Page 29. MAINTENANCE 31

TRANSAXLE
FLUID CHANGE
Change the transaxle fluid every 200 hours of
operation.
It is essential that the exterior of the
transaxle
be free of debris, prior to fluid maintenance.
1.
Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and
filter guard A.
Remove
the oil filter B from the
transaxle
and discard.
Dispose of used oil in ac-
cordance with local requirements.
2.
Wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film
of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement
filter.
Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to
one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the
filter base surface.
3.
Re-install
the filter guard and torque the three
screws to 65 in. Ibs. each.
4.
Remove
cap C, fill the transaxles
through the
expansion
tank D with approximately
2 quarts of
SAE 20W-50 engine oil PER TRANSAXLE.
Do not overfill!
If you overfill the transaxle while the unit
is "cold", it may overflow
as it reaches normal operating
temperatures.
The oil level should
not be above the
manufacturer's
suggestions.
This will allow the space
