4. Replace the oil filter every other oil change. Clean
around oil filter and unscrew filter to remove.
Before reinstalling new filter, apply a thin coating
of oil on the surface of the rubber seal. Turn
filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter
adapter then tighten filter an additional 1/2 to
3/4 turn.
5. Clean around oil fill cap and remove cap. Fill to

Check Hydraulic Oil Level
Service Interval: Every 40 hours
1. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Engage parking brake.
2. Clean area around hydraulic reservoir cap and
remove cap. Oil level should be to the top of the
baffle inside the tank. If not, add oil. Use only
Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil. Replace
hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until snug. Do
Not overtighten.
Note: The baffle is labeled “HOT” and
“COLD”. The oil level varies with the
temperature of the oil. The “HOT” level shows
the level of oil when it is at 225°F (107°C). The
“COLD” level shows the level of the oil when
it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate level
depending upon the temperature of the oil. For
example: If the oil is about 150°F (65°C), fill to
halfway between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels.
If the oil is at room temperature (about 75°F
(24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.
Check Tire Pressures
Service Interval: Every 40 hours
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Check tire pressure in drive tires.
3. Inflate drive tires to 13 psi (90 kPa).
4. Check tire pressure in caster tires.
5. Inflate caster tires to 13 psi (90 kPa).
6. Semi-pneumatic caster tires do not need to be
inflated.
Note: Do Not add any type of tire liner or foam
fill material to the tires. Excessive loads created by
foam filled tires may cause failures to the hydro drive
system, frame, and other components. Foam filling
tires will void the warranty.
