Clean debris off screen and front of radiator daily,
hourly if conditions are extremely dusty and dirty; refer
to Cleaning Radiator and Screen.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check level of coolant at beginning of each day before
starting the engine. Capacity of cooling system is
approximately 6 quarts (5.7 L).
Carefully remove radiator cap. Coolant is
pressurized and may be hot if engine has been
running.
Check level of coolant in radiator. Level of coolant
must be above the core and about 1 inch (25 mm)
below bottom of filler neck.
If coolant level is low, replenish the system. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
Install radiator cap.

The hydraulic system is designed to operate on any
high-quality detergent oil having the American
Petroleum InstituteĊAPIĊservice classification"

/3& Do not mix engine oil and automatic
transmission fluid or hydraulic system component
damage may result. When changing fluids, also
change transmission filter.
/3& Fluid to operate the power steering is supplied
by the hydraulic system transmission charge pump.
Cold weather start-up may result in stiff" operation of
the steering until the hydraulic system has warmed up.
Using proper weight hydraulic oil in system minimizes
this condition.
The front axle housing acts as the reservoir for the
system. The transmission and axle housing are
shipped from the factory with approximately 5 quarts
(4.7 L) of SAE 10WĆ30 engine oil. However, check level
of transmission oil before engine is first started and
daily thereafter.
Position machine on a level surface, raise the
implement, and stop the engine.
Unscrew dipstick cap (Fig. 21) from the filler neck
and wipe it with a clean rag. Screw dipstick cap
fingertight onto filler neck. Unscrew the dipstick and
check level of oil. If level is not within 1/2 inch (13 mm)
from the groove in the dipstick (Fig. 21), add enough oil
to raise level to groove mark. DO NOT OVERFILL by
more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) above groove.

The rear axle has three separate reservoirs which use
SAE 80WĆ90 wt. gear lube. Although the axle is
shipped with lubricant from the factory, check the level
before operating the machine.
Position the machine on a level surface.
Remove a check plug from each end of axle and
make sure lubricant is up to bottom of hole. If level is
low, remove one of the mounting bolts above each end
plug and add enough lubricant to bring the level up to
the bottom of the hole (Fig. 22).
Remove plug in center of axle and check level. If
level is low, add enough lubricant to bring the level up
to the bottom of the hole (Fig. 22).
