1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Raise seat.
3. Carefully clean area around filter. It is important
that no dirt or contamination enter hydraulic

Before reinstalling new filter, fill
it with Exmark Premium Hydro oil and apply
a thin coat of oil on the surface of the rubber
seal.

it is felt the oil has been contaminated or been
extremely hot.
Changing oil unnecessarily could damage hydraulic
system by introducing contaminates into the system.
Check Engine Coolant Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note:
If the engine coolant level is below the
indicator line on the overflow bottle when the
engine is cold, the coolant temperature gauge may
not register correctly during operation and/or
the warning buzzer may not sound if the engine
overheats.
1. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Make sure unit is on a level surface.
2. Check with engine cold.
3. View coolant level in overflow bottle on the left
side of the engine compartment. Coolant level
should be at the indicator line on the overflow
bottle.
4. If the coolant level is low, open hood or raise
radiator, remove the cap to the overflow bottle
and fill to the indicator line. Units should only be
filled with a 50/50 mix of Havoline
™
extended life
coolant and water. Havoline
™
can be identified
by its orange color.
WARNING
Engine coolant is hot and pressurized and
radiator and surrounding parts are hot. Spray or
steam from hot, pressurized liquid in the engine
cooling system and touching a hot radiator may
cause severe burns.
Allow the engine to cool completely before
removing the radiator cap or servicing any
component of the cooling system.
CAUTION
Engine coolant is toxic. Swallowing coolant can
cause poisoning.
•
Do Not swallow.
