ADJUSTMENT
 
To adjust the drive chains, the body must be 
removed and shims added behind the transaxle. 
Loosen 4 bolts which hold the transaxle to the 
frame. Insert shims as needed for adjustment 
between transaxle and mount plates. When properly 
adjusted, the slack span at the mid -point of the 
chain should have a total possible movement 
perpendicular to the chain of about 9/16". Tighten 
the 4 bolts which  hold the transaxle to the frame. 
Replace chain when rollers  become loose, chain 
breaks, or chain fails to operate properly.
 
LUBRICATION
 
1. Chains: Proper lubrication is important for 
effective roller chain operation. Use high quality 
lubricating oil (do not use grease or extra heavy 
oil) and apply drops  of oil to the chain joints 
every 10-15 hours of operation.
 
2. Front Caster Assembly: Each caster assembly 
has a grease fitting located on the under side of 
the bearing. For best results, use any good 
multi-purpose grease  every  10-15 hours of 
operation.
 
3. All other Bearings: All other bearings o n your 
mower are sealed and require no lubrication.
 
WHEELS AND TIRES
 
Correct tire pressure is essential to the correct 
operation of  the machine. The correct pressure for 
the drive tires is 8-10  Ibs. The front tires should be 
inflated to 20-24 Ibs. Lug nuts  should be checked 
periodically.
