WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Engine coolant is hot and pressurized.
♦ Radiator and surrounding parts are hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Spray or steam from hot, pressurized liquid in the
engine cooling system or touching a hot radiator may
cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Allow the engine to cool completely before removing
the radiator cap or servicing any component of the
cooling system.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Engine coolant is toxic.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Swallowing coolant can cause poisoning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Do not swallow
♦ Keep out of reach of children and pets.
With machine on level surface and with cool engine, remove radiator cap (under
hood) and add a 50/50 mix of water and Dex-Cool© extended life coolant until liquid
level is as high as possible without overflowing. Reinstall radiator cap, making sure
that the cap is completely seated by pressing down firmly while turning until the cap
stops. Add 50/50 coolant mix to overflow bottle on the left side of the engine as
required to bring the level up to the indicator line on the bottle.
NOTE: Units should only be filled with Dex-Cool© extended life coolant, which can
be identified by its orange color.
3.10 SERVICE HYDRAULIC OIL
The machine is shipped with hydraulic oil in the reservoir. Run the machine for
approximately 15 minutes to allow any extra air to purge out of the hydraulic
system. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill the reservoir to the
appropriate level with Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil. Replace hydraulic
reservoir cap and tighten until snug. DO NOT overtighten.
NOTE: The baffle has two levels. The upper level represents the “HOT” level and
the lower level represents the “COLD” level. The oil level varies with the
temperature of the oil. The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is a 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), fill to halfway between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels.
If the oil is at room temperature (about 75°F (24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.
4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 CONTROLS
4.1.1 Familiarize yourself with all controls before operating the mower.
4.1.2 Motion Control Levers: Located on each side of the console. The left lever
controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the left hydrostatic pump to the left drive
wheel motor. The right lever controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the right
hydrostatic pump to the right drive wheel motor.
