To fill the hydraulic system:
1. Fully lower the saw.
2. Do not level the saw frame. The 4-Speed Blade Shaft is mounted at a 78° angle
to the saw frame. Adjust the level of the saw so that the face of the Blade Shaft
housing is at right angles to the ground.

CAUTION
If the saw is not leveled correctly, the 4-Speed Blade Shaft could be
damaged by operating with too little, or too much, oil.
3. Add oil to the fill port on top of the 4-Speed Blade Shaft Housing.
4. Start the engine, and run it for a couple minutes to spread the oil throughout
the system
• Add more oil as required.
• Repeat steps 3 & 4 as necessary.
5. When the 4-Speed Blade Shaft is full, and positioned at 90° to the ground, the
oil should show between the center and the top of the sight glass on the front of the
main housing.
6. Inspect for leaks after service.

NOTE
If the Blade Shaft is drained completely, it will require approximately
1 gallon to refill. If the transaxle is drained as well, it will require
approximately one additional gallon.
