Troy-Bilt J830 Manuel D’Utilisation

Always observe safety rules when performing any 
maintenance.
The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that 
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To 
receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain 
the lawn mower as instructed here.
Changing of engine-governed speed will void engine 
warranty.
All adjustments should be checked at least once each 
season.
Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are 
tight.

Always stop engine, disconnect spark 

plug, and ground against engine before performing 
any type of maintenance on your machine.

Lubricate pivot points on the blade and drive controls 
at least once a season with light oil. These controls must 
operate freely in both directions. See Fig. 6-1.

1.

Lubricate the wheels and rear wheel gears at least once a 
season with light oil (or motor oil). If wheels are removed 
for any reason, lubricate surface of the pivot arm and inner 
surface of the wheel with light oil. See Fig. 6-1.
Lubricate the torsion spring and pivot points on the rear 
discharge door and side mulch plug periodically with light 
oil to prevent rust. See Fig. 6-1.
The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory 
and does not require lubrication.
Follow the accompanying engine manual for lubrication 
schedule and instruction for engine lubrication.

Clean underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent 
build-up of grass clippings or other debris. Follow steps below 
for this job.

Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from lawn 
mower or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
Tip mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side 
with the air cleaner facing up. Hold mower firmly.

Never tip the mower more than 90º in 

any direction and do not leave the mower tipped for 
any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part 
of the engine causing a starting problem.

3. 

Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable 
tool. Do not spray with water.
IMPORTANT:  Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose 
to clean your unit. These may cause damage to bearings, 
or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life 
and reduce serviceability.

4. 

Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you 
had put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make sure to 
remove it now.
