Land Pride Table of Contents Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication Transaxle Purging Procedures It is critical that air is purged from the hydrostatic drive system to keep it efficient. This is because compression and expansion rate of air is higher than that of oil. This purge procedure should be implemented any time the hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance or after the oil has been changed. Symptoms of a hydrostatic system that has not been purged may be: 1. Noisy operation. 2.
