MAINTENANCE

V=BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours

of operation and replace if necessary. The belts are not

adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.

TRANSAXLE MAINTENANCE

The transmission fan and cooling fins should be kept clean

to assure proper cooling.

Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine

is running or while the transmission is hot. To prevent pos-

sible damage to seals, do not use high pressure water or

steam to clean transmission.

Inspect cooling fan to ensure fan blades are intact and

clean.

Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other

materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use com-

pressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean coolingfins.

TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID

The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid mainte-

nance is not required for the life of the transaxle. Should

the transaxle ever leak or require servicing, contact your

nearest authorized service center/department.

ENGINE

LUBRICATION

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SG-SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade

according to your expected operating temperature.

SAE VISCOSITY GRADES

F -20 0 30 32 40 60 80 100

C -30 -2; -1; ; 1'0 20 30 4;

TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased

oil consumption when used above 32°F/0°C. Check your

engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine

damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oil fill

cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 18)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL..

* Ensure tractor is on level surface.

* Oil will drain more freely when warm.

* Catch oil in a suitable container.

* Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt

to enter the engine when changing oil.

* Remove yellow cap from end of drain valve and install

the drain tube onto the fitting.

* Unlock drain valve by pushing inward and turning

counterclockwise.

* To open, pull out on the drain valve.

* After oil has drained completely, close and lock the

drain valve by pushing inward and turning clockwise

until the pin is in the locked position as shown.

* Remove the drain tube and replace the cap onto to the

bottom fitting of the drain valve.

* Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick tube. Pour

slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see

"PRODUCT SPECl FICATIONS" section of this manual.

* Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.

Ensure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate

reading. Keep oil at "FULL' line on dipstick. Tighten

cap onto the tube securely when finished.

ENGINE OIL FILTER

Replace the engine oil filter every season or every other oil

change ifthe tractor is used more than 100 hours in one year.

AIR FILTER

Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter. Ser-

vice air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.

CLEAN AIR SCREEN

Air screen must be kept free of dirt and chaff to prevent

engine damage from overheating. Clean with awire brush or

compressed airto remove dirt and stubborn dried gum fibers.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

To ensure proper cooling, ensure the grass screen, cool-

ing fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are kept

clean at all times.

Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely

dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and other

cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces

as necessary. Ensure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled.

NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,

dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed

will cause engine damage due to overheating.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester (if

equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUGS

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing

season or after every 100 hours of use, whichever comes

first. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in Product

Specifications section of this manual.
