MAINTENANCE
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.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service 
classification SG-SL.  Select the oil’s SAE viscosity grade 
according to your expected operating temperature.
NOTE:  Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.) 
improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased 
oil consumption when used above 32°F.  Check your engine 
oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage 
from running low on oil.

MUFFLER   
Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester (if 
equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUGS 
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing 
season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever 
occurs first.  Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in 
“PROD UCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.
Fig. 17
Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least 
once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine 
and after each eight (8) hours of operation.  Tighten oil fill 
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.    
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replace the engine oil filter every season or every other oil 
change if the tractor is used more than 100 hours in one year.
TRANSAXLE MAINTENANCE
The transmission fan and cooling fins should be kept clean 
to ensure proper cooling.
Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine 
is running or while the transmission is hot. To prevent pos-
 si ble damage to seals, do not use high pressure water or 
steam to clean transmission.
• 
Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and 
clean.
•  Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other 
materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use com-
pressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean cool ing fins.
TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID 
The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid main te-
 nance is not required for the life of the transaxle.  Should 
the transaxle ever leak or require servicing, contact your 
near est au tho rized ser vice center/department.
AIR FILTER 
Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter. Ser-
vice air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.
CLEAN AIR SCREEN 
Air screen must be kept free of dirt and chaff to prevent 
engine dam age from overheating.  Clean with a wire brush or 
compressed air to re move dirt and stubborn dried gum fibers.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen, 
cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are 
kept clean at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely 
dusty, dirty conditions), remove the blower housing and 
other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external 
surfaces as necessary. Ensure the cooling shrouds are 
reinstalled.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, 
dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds re moved 
will cause engine damage due to overheating.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 18) 
Determine temperature range expected before oil change.  
All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.
•  Be sure tractor is on level surface.
•  Oil will drain more freely when warm.
•  Catch oil in a suitable container.
• 
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick.  Be careful not to allow dirt 
to enter the engine when changing oil.
•  Install the drain tube onto the valve. 
•  Open drain valve by using a 10mm wrench turning 
counterclockwise.

TO OPEN
•  After oil has drained completely, close the drain valve 
turning clockwise. Use the 10mm wrench to apply a small 
amount of torque to keep it closed. Do not over tighten. 
•  Remove the drain tube and store in a safe place. 
•  Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick tube.  Pour 
slowly.  Do not overfill.  For approximate capacity see 
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this man u al.
•  Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.  
Insert dipstick into the tube and rest the oil fill cap on 
the tube.  Do not thread the cap onto the tube when 
taking reading. Keep oil at “FULL” line on dipstick.  
Tighten cap onto the tube securely when finished.
