MAINTENANCE
Drawbar Bolt
This bolt fastens the mower to the tractor
drawbar. It should be removed and examined for
signs of wear or cracks. This bolt should be
replaced at the first sign of wear. See Image
Mnt-R-0241.
Level Lift System
The level lift rods should be removed from the mower to allow for proper inspection of all components including
the shock absorber weldment and the level lift pins. Check each part, especially the level lift pins, for worn
areas, mis-shaped holes, or bent components. If any of these signs are found, the parts should be replaced.
Reassemble the lift nuts on the mower and check that the level lift system operates properly.
Filter Change
As mentioned under Daily Maintenance, filters should be changed every 500 hours after the initial 25 hour
change or whenever the Filter Condition Gauge Shows to change filter. The life of the hydraulic components
depends largely on the cleanliness of the oil. Changing filters periodically is a good way of insuring that you
can accomplish this.
Oil Change
The oil should be changed every 1500 hours. Drain the oil out of the tank through the large suction hose by
removing it from the pump. The suction hoses and pump will need to be primed prior to operation. To do this,
reattach the suction hose to the pump and remove it from the tractor. Place the pump assembly below the level
of the tank while adding oil to the level of the sight gauge. Loosen the four bolts used to fasten the suction hose
to the pump inlet. When oil begins to flow out tighten the bolts. This procedure will prime the pump. Attach the
pump and follow the steps stated in the start-up procedure.
