9. HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS:
Before each use, check to be sure that
the
cooling fins of the hydrostatic
transmissions are clean. Excessive
accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may
cause the transmissions to overheat.
NEVER WASH ACROSS TOP OF
RESERVOIR with water or steam. Fill
reservoir as required per the maintenance
schedule listed in this book.
10. HYDROSTAT DRIVE BELT
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
(The hydrostatic drive is equipped with
an
automatic, anti-backlash belt take-
up)
A. Remove the 3/8° bolt lockwasher,
heavy washer, and spring, from the rear
of the assembly.
B. Squeeze the clamp latch to release the
clamp, allowing the idler arm/pulley to
swing forward towards the front of the
mower. Remove old belt if required.
Replace with new belt. C. With the belt in
place on all pullies reinsert the spring,
heavy washer, lockwasher, and 3/8° bolt.
Tighten 3/8" bolt fully.
11. LEVELING THE DECK:
A. Set the tire pressure on all four tires
B. Move the tractor to a hard, level
surface (i.e. Concrete or blacktop).
Place a 2 x 4 board under all four
comers of the deck shell, just inside
of the anti-scalping wheels. Lower
the deck down onto the boards. The
deck must rest on the boards,
NOT
the anti-scalping wheels..
Adjust the
deck hangers longer or shorter until
the deck "just" comes
off of the
boards. Remove the boards and
verify that the deck is hanging on all
four deck hangers, re-adjust if
necessary. Lock the jam nuts on the
two front deck hangers. (NOTE: the
two rear deck hangers will be easier
to adjust if the fender skirts are
removed).
