Lubrication
•
Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate the front castor
wheel axles and the front pivot axle with grease after every
10 hours of service.
•
Periodically lubricate all other pivot points with a quality
lubricating oil.
Cleaning the Spindle Pulleys
Once a month remove the belt covers to remove any
accumulation of grass clippings from around the spindle pulleys
and V-belt. Clean more often when mowing tall, dry grass.
Using the Deck Wash System
WARNING!
When using the deck wash system, never
engage the deck from any position other than the
operator's seat of the tractor. Do not use an assistant or
engage deck in the presence of any bystanders.
6.
Attach the nozzle adapter to a standard garden hose
connected to a water supply.
7.
Move the tractor to an area within reach of the hose where
the dispersal of wet grass clippings is acceptable to you.
Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and stop the
engine.
8.
Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter and push the
adapter onto one of the deck wash nozzles at either end of
the mower deck. Release the lock collar to lock the adapter
on the nozzle. See Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3
9.
Turn on the water supply.
10.
From the tractor operator's seat, start the engine and
engage the PTO. Allow to run as needed. Disengage the
PTO and stop the engine.
11.
Turn off the water supply.
12.
Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter to disconnect
the adapter from the nozzle.
13.
Repeat the previous steps to clean the deck using the
nozzle at the other end of the deck.
Tires
Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of operation or
weekly. Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
Improper inflation will shorten the tire service life. See the tire side
wall for proper inflation pressures. Observe the following guidelines:
•
Do not inflate a tire above the maximum pressure shown
on the sidewall of the tire.
•
Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under
inflated. Have it inspected and serviced by a qualified tire
mechanic.
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.
• 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.
• 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, even a "maintenance free" battery
requires some maintenance to ensure its proper life cycle.
•
Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a battery
terminal sealer, or coat the terminals with a thin coat of
grease or petroleum 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 Storage
1.
When storing the tractor for extended periods, disconnect
the negative battery cable. It is not necessary to remove
the battery.
2.
All batteries discharge during storage. Keep the exterior
of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty battery will
discharge more rapidly.
3.
The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged
battery can freeze sooner than a charged battery. A fully
charged battery will store longer in cold temperatures than hot.
