Default ZT1 ultima 50 Transmission

I have a ZT1 ultima 50. It supposedly has the "lifetime" hydraulic transmissions which do not allow service by the owner but there is an access cutout in the engine deck which allows for what looks to be a fill port above each transmission. See photo. There is also a vent and tube a few inches behind the "fill" port. There is no fluid reservoir for the hydraulics.

I have 15% slopes and have been able to mow successfully 3 years but recently have lost power in the left hand transmission when going up hill. There is no Cub Cadet service facility(thx Home Depot!) on the island I live on. The 3 year warranty is therefore worthless.

Q. Can I add fluid myself?
Q. How much?


I can't think what else the problem might be.
