Check Rear Axle; Check Bidirectional Clutch Lubricant - Toro Groundsmaster 228–D Operator's Manual

Check Rear Axle

The rear axle has three separate reservoirs which use SAE
80W-90 wt. gear lube. Although the axle is shipped with
lubricant from the factory, check the level before operating
the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove check plugs from axle and make sure lubricant
is up to bottom of each hole. If level is low, remove fill
plugs and add enough lubricant to bring the level up to
the bottom of the check plug holes (Fig. 18 & 19).

clutch. If fluid level is low, add Mobil Fluid 424. Clutch
should be approximately 1/3 full.
4. Install check plug.
Note: Do not use engine oil (i.e. 10W30) in bidirectional
clutch. Anti–wear and extreme pressure additives will
cause undesirable clutch performance.
