HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
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:
WARNING
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 29.
2.
Turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise to remove, 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 29. 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.
LUBRICATION
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.

GENERAL BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the
skin, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. If
there is any further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention. If acid
spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a
solution of ammonia/water or baking soda/water.
WARNING
NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while
the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks. Keep all sources of ignition
(cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated
during charging can be combustible. As a further precaution, only charge
the battery in a well ventilated area. Always shield eyes and protect skin
and clothing when working near batteries.
WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use extreme
caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Battery Maintenance
•
The battery is filled with battery acid and then sealed at the factory.
However, if the battery is equipped with fill caps, remove them and
check the level of the liquid electrolyte in the battery every 50 operating
hours. If the level in any of the six cells has dropped below the bottom of
the split ring inside the fill hole, refill the cell with distilled water.
•
Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a battery terminal
sealer, or coat the terminals with a thin coat of grease or petro-
leum jelly, to protect against corrosion.
•
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free of
corrosion.
•
Avoid tipping. Even a sealed battery will leak electrolyte when tipped.
WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use
extreme caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the
reach of children.
Battery Removal
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
The battery is located on the right/rear of the tractor beneath the seat
box frame. To remove the battery:
4.
Remove the hold down straps.
5.
Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the black
negative battery lead to the negative battery post (marked NEG).
Move the cable away from the negative battery post.
6.
Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the red posi-
tive battery lead to the positive battery post (marked POS).
7.
Carefully lift the battery out of the tractor.
8.
Install the battery by repeating the above steps in the reverse order.
WARNING
Always connect the positive lead to the battery before connecting the
negative lead. This will prevent sparking or possible injury from an
electrical short caused by contacting the tractor body with tools being
27
used to connect the cables.
