Hour Meter
To recognize when your machine needs servicing, check
the hour meter and the maintenance schedule. The hour
meter shows the number of hours the engine has run and
the maintenance schedule lists the service intervals. See
Figure 4-2.
Lubrication
1. Grease the front gauge wheel bearings per the
Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose
grease.
2. Grease the four deck lift pivots, located to the side of
the operator’s footrest per theMaintenance Schedule.
Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
3. Grease the deck idler per the Maintenance Schedule.
Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
4. Grease the pump idler per the Maintenance
Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.
5. Grease the two deck pusher arm pivots per the
Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose
grease.
6. Grease the blade spindle assemblies per the
Maintenance Schedule. Each spindle shaft is
equipped with a grease zerk located under the deck.
Use no more than one or two ounces of SAE
multi-purpose grease, (1 to 2 pumps on an average
grease gun). Do not force lubricant into grease zerks.
Bearings are sealed and do not require much
lubricant.
Electrical System
The electrical system is a 12 volt, negative ground.
Recommended battery size is a garden mower BCI group
U1R with 225 or better cranking AMP rating. A
maintenance-free battery is recommended. Otherwise,

WARNING!
Avoid skin contact with battery acid. Always wear eye
protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious
injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean
water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage
clothing. Do not allow open flame near the battery when
charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is
both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if
exposed to flame. Always remove the negative ground first and
replace it last. Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow
and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the
battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and
water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean
corrosion off the terminals.
Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting,
corroded or dirty terminals, loose connections, defective
wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and
ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or
open circuit.
Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electrical
system, use a test light or voltmeter to check the battery
voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the
