9. Parking Brake:
The parking brake is hand operated and is located at right hand
side of mower. To engage brake, pull lever up and to
the rear. To
release, move lever forward and down. In emergency situations,
brake may be used in conjunction with the natural braking of the
transaxle. Always set parking brake before dismounting. Be sure
that parking brake is released before moving.
MAINTENANCE
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, SHUT OFF
ENGINE, ALLOW TO COOL AND DISCONNECT SPARK
PLUG.
ENGINE
For complete engine operating and maintenance informa
tion, refer
to engine operating and maintenance instructions
furnished by the
engine manufacturer and supplied with
each mower.
BATTERY
Fill with electrolyte solution to lower ring of battery. After initial filling,
fluid level may be maintained with distilled water.
Procedure for off-season storage:
1. Charge battery.
2. Disconnect cables from battery terminals. Identify cables so that
they may be easily reconnected to the correct
terminal. (Disconnect ground cable first and reconnect
last.)
3. Clean top of battery and terminals.
4. Do not remove battery from mower.
5. To reactivate, reconnect cables to correct terminals and charge
battery if needed.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
The best tension for a V-belt drive is the lowest tension at
which the
belts will not slip under normal load condition. Check the tension on a
new belt frequently during first hours of operation and every 10 - 15
hours or monthly thereafter. Too much tension shortens belt and
bearing life. Too little tension causes slippage and loss of power. Be
sure that belts and pulleys are kept free of foreign material. If belt
slippage occurs,
tighten it just enough to prevent slippage.
TRANSAXLE DRIVE BELT
No adjustment necessary; the spring-loaded idler pulley
maintains
proper belt tension throughout the belt life.
MOWER DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT
See Technical Data Brochure.
REPLACE BELTS WHEN ADJUSTMENT CAN NO LONGER BE
MADE SATISFACTORILY OR IF BELTS BECOME WORN.
