hours of usage. Clean the oil reservoir 

cap and the area around it prior to 

removal. Check the oil level on the 

dipstick. The proper oil level should 

register between the marked hole on the 

dipstick and the end of the dipstick. 

Replenish as needed with 20W-50 Motor 

Oil.   

DO NOT OVER FILL. 

When 

checking the oil level, be very careful to 

keep the reservoir clean

hydrostatic transmission filter after the

"RELEASE" position and the actuating 

lever against the stop, remove the cotter 

pin from the castle nut. Insert a 0.010 

feeler gauge between the brake disc and 

the brake puck. Tighten the castle nut 

with the feeler gauge inserted until the 

gauge fits snugly«between the disc and 

puck. The gap should not be so tight that 

the feeler gauge cannot be reinserted 

after removal. Back the castle nut to the 

closest pin hole and reinsert the cotter pin.
