3/4 turn.
6. Clean around oil ll cap and remove cap. Fill to
specied capacity and replace cap.
7. Remove drain hose, close fuel tank, and lower
hopper.
8. Use oil recommended in engine owner’s manual.
Do Not overll. Start the engine and check for

9. Wipe up any spilled oil from engine deck
mounting surfaces.
Check Hydraulic Oil Level
Service Interval: Every 40 hours
WARNING
Oil spilled or vented from an overlled
hydraulic reservoir onto the PTO brake band
will cause a longer stopping time for the deck
and blower rotating components. The deck
and blower rotating components can cause
serious injury.
• Wait for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop before servicing.
• Do Not overll the hydraulic reservoir.
Carefully ll only to the recommended
level.
• Replace the brake band if it becomes
contaminated with oil.
1. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Engage parking brake.
2. Tilt hopper up.
3. Clean area around hydraulic reservoir cap and
remove cap. Oil level should be to the top of the
bafe inside the tank. If not, add oil. Use only
Exmark Premium Hydro oil. Replace hydraulic
reservoir cap and tighten until snug. Do Not
overtighten. Do Not overll.
Note: The bafe is labeled “HOT” and
“COLD”. The oil level varies with the
temperature of the oil. The “HOT” level shows
the level of oil when it is at 225°F (107°C). The
“COLD” level shows the level of the oil when
it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate level
depending upon the temperature of the oil. For
example: If the oil is about 150°F (65°C), ll to
halfway between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels.
If the oil is at room temperature (about 75°F
(24°C)), ll only to the “COLD” level. Do Not
overll.
Check Tire Pressures
Service Interval: Every 40 hours
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Check tire pressure in drive tires.
3. Inate drive tires to 15 psi (103 kPa).
4. The rear caster tire is semi-pneumatic and does
not need to be inated.
Note: Do Not add any type of tire liner or foam
ll material to the tires. Excessive loads created by
foam lled tires may cause failures to the hydro drive
system, frame, and other components. Foam lling
tires will void the warranty.
Check Condition Of Belts
Service Interval: Every 40 hours
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Tilt hopper up and check pump and PTO drive
belts for wear, cracking, or contamination.
3. Belts are spring tensioned and no adjustment is
necessary unless belts are replaced. See PTO
Belt Replacement and Pump Drive Belt
Replacement sections for belt replacement.
Lubricate Grease Fittings
Note: See chart for service intervals.
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Lubricate ttings with one to two pumps of
NGLI grade #2 multi-purpose gun grease.
Refer to the Lubrication Chart for tting locations
and lubrication schedule.
