SERVICING YOUR SNOWBLOWER

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

TRANSMISSION
FLUID RESERVOIR

UPPER LIMIT

LOWER LIMIT

Check the hydrostatic fluid level in the reservoir.

At temperatures below

20 °C (

4 °F), fluid may not be visible in the

reservoir before operation, but should rise into the reservoir when the
transmission warms up.

Hydrostatic fluid expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
The UPPER and LOWER limit marks on the reservoir are calibrated for
room temperature fluid.

It is normal for the fluid level no rise above the UPPER limit mark when
snowblower operation warms the transmission.

When checking the level of cold fluid, below room temperature, refer
to the temperature chart for appropriate fluid levels (page

).
