Torque Caster Arm Hardware
1. Lift mower off shipping pallet and set on a hard
level surface. This allows clearance in the caster
wheel assemblies to be equalized.
2. Tighten all cap screws and nuts on all four caster
wheel arms.
3. Tighten all cap screws and nuts to specifications
found in Bolt Torque Chart on page 46.
Fill Gearbox
1. Make sure vent plug hole is clear. Fill gearbox half-
full with high quality gear oil that has a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of
GL-4 or GL-5.
2. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on gear-
box.
3. Pour in one pint of gear lube, wait five minutes, and
add additional gear lube until it just comes out of
side hole.
4. Allow an additional five minutes for the lube to flow
through bearings; then check to make sure oil level
is at bottom of side hole. Replace side plug.
5. Install vent plug.
NOTICE
Gearbox is not filled at the factory. Prior to
delivery, make sure each gearbox is filled half-full
with 80W or 90W API GL-4 or GL-5 gear lube.
