Use Bobcat hydraulic transmission fluid (P/N 6563328). If this fluid is not available, use 10W-30 or 10W-40 SAE Motor Oil (5W-30 for 0°F [-18°C] and Below).
DO NOT use automatic transmission fluids in the loader or permanent damage to the transmission will result.
When temperatures below zero degree F (-18°C) are common, the loader must be kept in a warm building. Extra warm-up time must be used each time the loader is started during cold temperature conditions. Cold fluid will not flow easily and it makes action on the hydraulic function slower. Loss of fluid flow to the hydrostatic transmission pump (indicated by TRANS light ON) can cause transmission damage in less than 60 seconds.
