TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
Data indicates that those operators age 60 years
and above are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. Those operators should
evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower
safely enough to protect themselves and others
from injury.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer
with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
Never over-fill tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
Handle fuel carefully; it is highly flammable.
Always use an approved container. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel while engine is running. Allow
engine to cool before refueling. Wipe up all spilled
fuel before starting engine.
TRANSPORTATION
Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine onto a trailer or truck.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Do not put Mow’n Machine into service unless
clutch is working properly. When the engine is at
full throttle, PTO-driven accessories must stop
within five seconds after the PTO switch is turned
to “OFF.” See your dealer for replacement
clutches.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Do not remove radiator cap while engine is hot.
Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed engine.
Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.

Service and Maintenance Procedures
NOTE:
or oil additions between regularly scheduled maintenance. Opening expansion tank excessively may introduce dirt and foreign particles shortening hydrostatic
life.
External Maintenance
Regular external maintenance of the transaxle should
include the following:
Hydrostatic system should require no servicing
1.
Check the vehicle operator's manual for the
recommended load ratings. Insure that the current
application does not exceed load rating.
2.
Check oil level in accordance with "Fluid Change
Procedure," step 12, page 19.
3.
Inspect the vehicle drive belt, idler pulley(s), and
idler spring(s). Insure that no belt slippage can
occur. Slippage can cause low input speed to the
transaxle.
4.
Inspect the vehicle control linkage to the directional
control arm on the transaxle. Also insure that the
control arm is securely fastened to the trunnion
arm of the transaxle.
Some of the service procedures presented on the following pages can be performed while the transaxle is
mounted on the vehicle. Any repair procedures as
mentioned in the repair section of this manual must be
performed after the unit has been removed from the
vehicle.
Fluids
The fluids used in Hydro-Gear® products have been
carefully selected, and only equivalent, or better products should be substituted.
Typically, an engine oil with a minimum rating of 9.0
cSt (55 SUS) at 230° F (110° C) and an API classification of SL is recommended. A 20W50 engine oil has
been selected for use by the factory and is recommended for normal operating procedures.
Fluid Volume and Level
Certain situations may require additional fluid to be
added or even replaced.
Purging will be required if oil has been changed. Refer
to the purging procedures on page 19.
5.
Inspect the bypass mechanism on the transaxle
and the vehicle linkage to insure that both actuate
and release fully.

. Hydrostat Filter and Guard
MAN0999 (12/4/2012)
Page 19
FLUID CHANGE PROCEDURE
This transaxle is designed with an external filter for
ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality
levels and longer life, an initial oil and filter change at
75-100 hours, then every 400 hours thereafter is recommended.
13.
Re-install the expansion tank cap by hand. Be
careful to not over tighten.
14.
Proceed to the purge procedure.
PURGING PROCEDURES
The following procedure can be performed with the
transaxles installed in the vehicle, and the vehicle on
level ground. Apply the bypass valve for each transaxle
and lock the vehicle parking brake.
1.
Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter
guard. Clean any loose debris from around the
perimeter of the filter.
2.
Place an oil drain pan (12" or more diameter and 8
qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter.
Remove the oil filter from the transaxle.
3.
After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base
surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket
of the new replacement filter (part number 78726).
4.
Install the new filter by hand; turn 3/4 to one full
turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base
surface.
5.
Re-install the filter guard with three 1/4" screws.
Torque each screw to 65 in. lbs. (7.3 Nm).
6.
Repeat steps 1-5 on the opposite side transaxle
drive.
Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydrostatic
drive applications, it is critical that it is purged from the
system.
Air creates inefficiency because its compression and
expansion rate is higher than that of the oil approved
for use in hydrostatic drive systems.
These purge procedures should be implemented any
time a hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate
maintenance or the oil has been changed.
The resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may
be:
1.
Noisy operation.
2.
Lack of power or drive after short term operation.
3.
High operation temperature and excessive
expansion of oil.
Before starting, make sure the transaxle is at the
proper oil level. If it is not, fill to the specifications outlined in this manual.
7.
Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to
disposal. Place used oil in appropriate containers
and deliver to an approved recycling collection
facility.
8.
Remove the top port plug from the left side and
right side transaxles prior to filling with oil. This will
allow the transaxles to vent during oil fill.
9.
Remove the cap from the transaxle's expansion
tank located on the vehicle frame.
10.
Fill with 20W50 motor oil until oil just appears at the
bottom of each transaxle's top port (approximately
2 qts. per transaxle, 4 qts. total). Install the top port
plug into each transaxle as the oil level reaches
this port.
11.
Install and torque the top port plugs to 180 in. lbs.
(20.3 Nm).
12.
Continue to fill the transaxles through the
expansion tank until the "Full Cold" line is reached

on the Hydro-Gear
.5 qt will be needed to fill expansion tank.
expansion tank. An additional
The following procedures are best performed with the
vehicle drive wheels off the ground. Then repeat under
normal operating conditions. If this is not possible, then
the procedure should be performed in an open area
free of any objects or bystanders.
1.
Disengage the brake if activated.
2.
With the bypass valve open and the engine
running, slowly move the directional control in both
forward and reverse directions (5 or 6 times).
3.
With the bypass valve closed and the engine
running, slowly move the directional control in both
forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times).
Check the oil level, and add oil as required after
stopping the engine.
4.
It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and 3 until
all the air is completely purged from the system.
When the transaxle operates at normal noise
levels and moves smoothly forward and reverse at
normal speeds, then the transaxle is considered
purged.
