PRODUCT CARE 1. Pivot the operator's seat forward and clean the reservoir cap and the area around the cap to prevent debris from contaminating the transmission oil. 2. Turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise to remove, then check the oil level in the reservoir. Oil should be visible at the bottom of the cup, but the oil level must NOT be above the "FULL COLD" line (Figure 45). DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR. WARNING Check the oil level ONLY before starting the mower when the transmission oil is fully cooled. 1. Pivot the operator's seat forward and clean the reservoir cap and the area around the cap to prevent debris from contaminating the transmission oil (Figure 47). Figure 45 3. If necessary to add oil because of some type of leakage, add only enough oil to bring the level to the "FULL COLD" line. Reinstall the cap and fully tighten. NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the mower, the oil level in the reservoir may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air in the oil lines. Operation of the mower will eventually purge the air from the lines and the oil level will settle to the maximum. To change the transmission oil: 1. Remove the cap from the transmission oil expansion reservoir. 2. Place a suitable container under the oil filter cover (a) on the transmission. Remove the oil filter cover from the transmission to drain the oil (Figure 46). Remove and discard the O-ring. Figure 47 2.

Remove the cap from the transmission oil expansion reservoir. 2. Place a suitable container under the drain plug (a) on the transmission. Remove the drain plug (a) and allow the transmission oil to drain (Figure 48). a a Figure 46 3. Once oil has drained, use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a magnet to remove oil filter. 4. Replace new filter and fit new O-ring onto filter cover (a) (Figure 46). Figure 48 5. Reinstall filter cover (torque to 200-300 in-lbs). 3. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers or a magnet remove the filter. 6. Fill the transmission through the expansion reservoir slowly until the "FULL COLD" line. Allow the transmission oil to move through the system and top off as necessary. 4. Replace the filter and drain plug (torque to 115-135 in-lbs) and fill through the expansion reservoir slowly until the "FULL COLD" line. Allow the transmission oil to move through the system and top off as necessary. 7. Replace the cap and fully tighten. 5. Replace the cap and fully tighten. Hydrostatic Transmission (700 and 900 Series) PARKER TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED) The 700 and 900 series with Parker hydrostatic transmission are equipped with dual integrated hydrostatic pumps/transaxles that are equipped with a transmission oil expansion reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, the oil level in the expansion reservoir does not need to be checked and no additional oil is needed. If checking the reservoir oil level, proceed as follows: HYDRO-GEAR TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED) The 700 and 900 series with Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission are equipped with dual integrated hydrostatic pumps/transaxles that are equipped with a transmission oil expansion reservoir. Under normal operating conditions, the oil level in the expansion reservoir does not need to be checked and no additional oil is needed. If checking the reservoir oil level, proceed as follows: 1. Pivot the operator's seat forward and clean the reservoir cap and the area around the cap to prevent debris from contaminating the transmission oil. 27
