Abstract
A method of charging a hydrostatic transmission with deaerated transmission oil wherein a hollow-bodied bellows attached to a housing plate for placement within the hydrostatic transmission housing, and a bleed plug for a bleed hole are removed, and the deaerated oil is caused to fill the transmission housing. Once the transmission has been completely charged such that the oil is at the bleed hole level, the hollow-bodied bellows attached to the housing plate is then secured to the hydrostatic transmission housing causing excess oil and air initially trapped within the hydrostatic transmission housing, to be purged through the bleed hole, while the transmission bleed hole plug is then secured into the transmission bleed hole.
