SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Before performing any
maintenance or repairs, disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
CLEANING THE ENGINE AND DECK
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped
off promptly.
Do NOT allow debris to accumulate around the cooling
fins of the engine or on any other part of the machine,
especially the belts and pulleys.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer or
garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to electrical
components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine.
The use of water will result in a shortened life of the
tractor and reduce its serviceability.
ENGINE
Refer to the separate engine manual for engine
maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as instructed in
the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
Read and follow instructions carefully.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Depending on the engine model found on your
tractor, it may be necessary to remove the tractor’s side
panel in order to replace the oil filter (if so equipped).
• Unscrew oil fill cap and remove dipstick from the oil
fill tube. See Figure 17.
• Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil
drain valve to expose the oil drain port. See Figure
17.
• Push oil drain hose (packed with unit) onto the oil
drain port. Route the opposite end of the hose into
an appropriate oil collection container with a
capacity great enough to collect the used oil.
• Push the oil drain valve in slightly, then rotate
counterclockwise and pull outward to begin
draining oil. See Figure 17.

capacity and weight of motor oil as instructed in the
separate engine manual.
