Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system,
parking brake and lift linkage at least once a season
with light oil.
Deck Spindles
Grease fittings can be found on the front of each deck
spindle. After every 25 hours of tractor operation,
lubricate with 251H EP grease or an equivalent No. 2
multi-purpose lithium grease. Using a grease gun,
apply two strokes (minimum) or sufficient grease to
each spindle.
Rear Wheels
The rear wheels should be removed from the axles
once a season. Lubricate the axles and the rims well
with an all-purpose grease before re-installing them.
Front Wheels
Each of the front wheel axles is equipped with a grease
fitting. Lubricate with 251H EP grease or an equivalent
No. 2 multi-purpose lithium grease after every 25 hours
of tractor operation.
Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission is sealed at the factory.
Oil level cannot be checked nor can the oil be changed.
SECTION 8: SERVICE
Tires
WARNING:
Never exceed the maximum
inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the
tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 10 psi for the rear tires and 14 psi for the
front tires.
Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to
mow unevenly.
Fuse
A fuse is installed in your tractor’s wiring harness to
protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your
tractor’s engine will not crank, first check to be certain
that the fuse has not blown.
It can be found under the hood mounted behind the top
of the dash panel on the support bar.
IMPORTANT:
Always use a fuse with the same
amperage capacity for replacement.
