Ariens GARDEN TRACTORS 931013 S-14G User Manual download pdf (Page 7)

Use AriensGard-N-Yardoil (SAE 10W-30 SE classification)

when using lawn and garden attachments. Use Ariens Sno-

Thro oil (SAE 5W-20 SE classification) when using snow

removal attachments.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

When the tractor is new, the oil should be changed after

the first 5 hours of operation.

Under normal operating conditions, the oil should be

changed every 25 hours of operation. If extremely dusty or

dirty conditions prevail, change oil more frequently, use a

filter precleaner, consult Engine Manual.

Drain the crankcase by removing the drain plug, shown in

Figure 9 , and allow the oil to drain into a container. If

■k possible, run engine just prior to changing oil, as the oil will

^ flow more freely and carry away more contamination when

hot.

NOTE: Bottom of engine shown. FIGURE 9

Replace drain plug. Remove dip stick and refill crankcase

with 4 U.S. pints of oil. Check oil on the dip stick to see that

the oil level is at the full (F) mark. Do not overfill.

TRANSAXLE OIL GRADE AND VISCOSITY

Ariens MP-90 Gear Lube or an equivalent oil meeting the

requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (A.P.I.)

should be used. Oil viscosity (weight) should be SAE 90 and is

I recommendedfor year-round use.

TRANSAXLE OIL LEVEL

The oil level in the transaxle should be checked every 25

hours of operation or monthly.

Use the following procedure to check the transaxle oil

level:

1. Drive tractor onto level ground.

2. Stop engine.

3. Wipe dirt from around the oil level filler plugs. See

Figure 10.

4. Remove filler plug. Oil level should level with the filler

plug hole, see Figure 10.

5. If necessary, use a small funnel to add sufficient MP-90

oil to bring the oil up to the proper level. Replace plug.

Be very careful to prevent dirt and foreign materials from

entering the transaxle when checking or adding oil.

HYDRAULIC LIFT DIL LEVEL (Model 931013only)

The hydraulic lift system should seldom require additional

hydraulic fluid unless a leak should develop. The hydraulic

fluid is stored in a reservoir/cooler located under the floor

panel in front of the seat. To check oil level, drive the tractor

on to level ground; move the hydraulic lift lever to the

"DOWN" position until the lift cylinder is fully retracted.

Remove the panel. The hydraulic reservoir is now exposed.

Clean away all dirt and remove the pipe plug at the front of

the reservoir. The oil level should be to the bottom of the

edge as shown in Figure 11. Rock the machine while looking

down the fill hole to be sure of the oil level position. If

additional oil is required, fill to the proper level with SAE

10W-30 Gard-N-Yard oil or equivalent by removing the top

plug, adding oil, and removing the front plug, again, to set the

oil level. Replace all pipe plugs, clean excessive dirt from

the cooler fins and replace floor panel.
