Cub Cadet 769-08543 ユーザーズマニュアル

Before performing any maintenance or 

repairs, disengage the PTO, move the drive control 

levers fully outward in the neutral position, engage 

the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the 

key to prevent unintended starting.

Refer to the Kohler Owner’s Manual for all engine maintenance 

intervals, procedures, specifications and instructions.

! If the engine has been recently run, 

the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces 

will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise 

caution to avoid burns.

To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. 

Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The 

oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. 

Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.

2. 

Locate the oil drain hose on the engine.

3. 

Route the free end of the oil drain hose toward an 

appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.5 quart 

capacity, to collect the used oil. Remove the oil fill cap/

dipstick from the oil fill tube.

4. 

While holding the free end of the oil drain hose over the oil 

collection container, unscrew the square-head hose plug 

from the end of the hose. See Figure 1-1. Drain the engine 

oil into the collection container.

5. 

After draining the oil, wipe any residual oil from the oil 

drain hose. Thread the square head plug into the drain 

hose fitting and fully tighten the plug.

6. 

Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the Kohler Owner’s 

Manual for information regarding the volume and weight 

of engine oil.

Your zero turn tractor is equipped with dual integrated 

hydrostatic pumps/transaxles that are sealed and are 

maintenance-free. However, this model is equipped with a 

transmission oil expansion reservoir. Under normal operating 

conditions, the oil level in the expansion reservoir does not need 

to be checked and no additional oil is needed. If checking the 

reservoir oil level, proceed as follows:

Check the oil level ONLY before 

starting the tractor when the transmission oil is fully 

cooled.  

1. 

Pivot the operator’s seat forward and clean the reservoir 

cap and the area around the cap to prevent debris from 

contaminating the transmission oil. See Figure 1-2.

2. 

Turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise to re-move, then 

check the oil level in the reservoir. Oil should be  visible at 

the bottom of the cup, but the oil level must NOT be above 

the “FULL COLD” line. See Figure 1-2. DO NOT FILL THE 

RESERVOIR.

3. 

If necessary to add oil because of some type of leakage, use a 

quality 20W50 motor oil and add only enough oil to bring the 

level to the “FULL COLD” line. Reinstall the cap and fully tighten.

NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the tractor, the oil level in 

the reservoir may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air 

in the oil lines. Operation of the tractor will eventually purge the 

air from the lines and the oil level will settle to the maximum.

• 

Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate all grease 

fittings and points as noted in the Lubrication Chart.

• 

Lubricate all other pivot points with a quality lubricating oil 

as noted in the Oil Chart.
