Can someone post a page, or pictures of how to change the hydraulic fluid? I inherited a Steiner 430 when I bought my home and have not been able to find down loadable info.

Thanks,

Andy

It does explain how to change the transaxle fluid....on page 5-5

TRANSAXLE OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE
Change oil and filter at any time contamination is
suspected. Approximately 3 gallons of approved
hydraulic oil are needed to change oil.
1. It is best to drain transaxles after the tractor has
been thoroughly warm to assure maximum drain.
2. Remove fill neck cap from rear transaxle.
3. Remove drain plug from rear transaxle.
4. Open the front transaxle vent.
5. Remove drain plug from front transaxle. After
approximately 1 quart of hydraulic oil has been
drained from the front transaxle, remove the fill
tube cap.
6. Remove hydraulic oil filter and wipe filter base
clean.
7. Fill the new Steiner hydraulic filter with hydraulic oil
and lube the filter gasket.
8. Install the new hydraulic oil filter. Tighten 3/4 to 1
turn after gasket makes contact with the filter
base. Do not overtighten.
9. Install drain plugs in both transaxles.
10. Fill front transaxle to the top of the fill tube,
approximately 6 quarts.
11. Close the front transaxle vent.
12. Fill the rear transaxle to the top of the fill neck.
13. Run engine, and turn steering wheel extreme
right to extreme left several times to purge all air
from the circuit.
14. Drive the unit back and forth about 50 feet to
purge air from the drive circuit.
15. Repeat step 12 as needed.
