To drain the engine oil:
1. Place an approved container beneath the oil drain.
2. Remove the oil drain plug or open the oil drain valve,
depending on model.
3. Allow the engine oil to drain completely into the approved
container. Make sure to dispose of used engine oil
according to local, state, province and/or federal rules.
4. Replace the oil drain plug or close the oil drain valve.
5. Add oil to the engine. Refer to Specifications or the
engine operator's manual for oil recommendations and
capacity.
NOTICE
Failure to add engine oil will result in engine damage.
Engine Coolant Drain
The unit is equipped with a remote engine coolant drain (B,
Figure 25).
To drain the engine coolant:
1. Place an approved container beneath the coolant drain.
2. Remove the coolant drain plug or open the coolant drain
valve, depending on model.
3. Allow the engine coolant to drain completely into the
approved container. Make sure to dispose of used engine
coolant according to local, state, province and/or federal
rules.
4. Replace the coolant drain plug or close the coolant drain
valve.
5. Open the coolant fill access door (C, Figure 25), and
add coolant to the engine. Refer to the engine operator's
manual for coolant recommendations and capacity.
NOTICE
Failure to add engine coolant will result in engine damage.

Hydraulic Pump
Hydraulic Oil Specifications
Refer to Figure 26 and the table following for recommended
hydraulic oils.
26
A
Use ISO Viscosity Grade 10 or 15 Hydraulic Fluid
B
Use Automatic Transmission Fluid
Adding Hydraulic Oil
Fill the reservoir with automatic transmission fluid or any
clean hydraulic fluid having a viscosity index that is suitable
for the climate conditions in which the unit will be operated.
Refer to the preceding table.
Note: Standard units are supplied with automatic transmission
fluid (ATF), and arctic units are supplied with long life
synthetic hydraulic fluid.
Priming the Hydraulic Pump
Pumps that have been disassembled for repair, or pumps that
have been replaced, require proper priming to avoid possible
pump failure. A pump is primed when the internal portions of
the pump are filled with oil and all air has been expelled. To
prime the pump:
1. Make sure that the oil reservoir (A, Figure 27) is filled with
oil to the full mark.
2. Place a catch pan under the pump to catch excess oil.
3. Turn on the ignition switch and move the tower switch to
the UP position. Do so intermittently, to "jog" the pump.
This will expel air and oil through the loosened fitting.
Repeat until oil flow is free of air.
