How to Add Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross

hatched area on 

the dipstick.

1. Pull out the dipstick.

2. Using a long

-

neck funnel, add enough fluid at the

dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.

It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.

NOTICE:

We recommend you use only fluid labeled
