V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear 
after 100 hours of operation and replace 
if necessary. The belts are not ad just able. 
Re place belts if they begin to slip from 
wear. 

TRANSAXLE COOLING
The transmission fan and cooling fi ns 
should be kept clean to assure proper 
cooling.
Do not attempt to clean fan or trans mis -
sion while engine is running or while the 
trans mis sion is hot. To prevent pos si ble 
damage to seals, do not use high pres sure 
water or steam to clean transaxle.
•   Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades 

are intact and clean.

•   Inspect cooling fi ns for dirt, grass clip-

pings and other materials.  To prevent 
damage to seals, do not use com-
pressed air or high pressure sprayer to 
clean cool ing fi ns.

The transaxle was sealed at the factory 
and fl uid main te nance is not required for 
the life of the transaxle.  Should the trans-
axle ever leak or require servicing, contact 
your near est qualifi ed service center.

nals can cause the battery to “leak” power.

Check the crankcase oil level before start-
ing the engine and after each eight (8) 
hours of operation.  

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

before oil change.  All oil must meet API 
service classifi cation SG-SL. 
•   Be sure tractor is on level surface.
