1. Apply a thin coat of oil on the surface of the rubber
seal of each filter.
2. Turn the filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts
the filter adapter then tighten the filter an additional
3/4 to 1 full turn. Repeat for the other filter
3. Install the filter guards over each filter as previously
removed. Use the three screws to secure the filter
guards.
4. Slowly pour the specified oil through expansion
reservoir until oil comes out of vent plug holes. Stop
and install the vent plugs. Torque plugs to 180 in-lb
(20.3 N-m).
5. Continue to add oil until it reaches the FULL COLD
line on the expansion reservoir. Proceed to the
Bleeding the Hydraulic System section.
Important: Failure to perform the Bleeding
the Hydraulic System procedure after changing
hydraulic filters and oil can result in irreparable
damage to the transaxle drive system.
Bleeding the Hydraulic System
1. Raise the rear of machine up and support with jack
