any cracks or leaks. Replace as needed.
Engine Oil and Filter
Refer to Figure 4-8:
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of
operation. Crankcase dipstick and oil filler tube are
located at the rear of the machine. Mower must be sitting
level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and
maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and
capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation, per the engine manufacturer’s
recommendations after that. If mower is being operated in
extremely dirty conditions, then it is recommended oil be
changed more frequently.
The oil drain and oil filter are located at the rear of the
engine.
Engine Air Filter
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the engine
operator’s manual.
General Engine Maintenance
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in
and regular maintenance are specified in the engine
operator’s manual. Please refer to this manual for engine
servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity
recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty
is backed by the engine manufacturer. Special attention
should be paid to applicable data which will not be
duplicated here.
Belt Replacement
Refer to Figure 4-9 and Figure 4-10:
Replace belts which show signs of severe cuts, tears,
excessive weather checking and cracking or burns
caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does
not indicate failure, trim ravelings with a sharp knife.
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A
new belt, or one in good condition, should never run
against the bottom of the groove. Replace the pulley when
this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip
excessively.
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or
damage the fibers of the belt covering.
Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt
dressings. Any ofthese will destroy the belt composition in
a very short time.
Deck Belt Replacement
1. Park the unit on a flat surface. Stop the engine and
remove the ignition key. Make sure blade engagement
switch is in the down (OFF) position. Place control
levers in the park brake position. Disconnect negative
battery cable.
2. Place the deck in the lowest position.
