CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BELTS:
The main hydro drive belt should be checked after the
first 10 hours and every 50 hours thereafter. Replace
any belts found to be in poor condition. The deck belt is
equipped with a spring loaded belt tightener and does
not require tightening adjustments. The hydrostatic
transmission belt is adjusted manually (see page 32
for tensioning instructions).
LUBRICATION:
A. Engine: Follow engine manufacturer’s
recommendation.
B. Deck spindles: Lubricate with 3 “shots” only,
every 100 hours.
C. Hydrostatic transmission and filter.
D. P.T.O. Shaft: Grease every 50 hours.
E. Deck lift rod weldment: Grease every 50 hours.
F. Deck Gearbox: See page 31.
SCALPER ROLLER BOLTS:
Scalper roller bolts should be tightened until the spacer
bushing will not run relative to the scalper bracket to
prevent undue wear on the end of the spacer bushing
and the scalper bracket. The proper torque is from 17
to 20 ft. lbs.
