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 21. Drain the engine oil into the collection container.

the engine as instructed in the engine owner's manual. See engine owner's
manual included with this tractor for oil capacity.
Tire Maintenance
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
a qualified tire mechanic inspect and service the tire.
Lubrication
•
Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate the front castor wheel axles and
the front pivot axle with No. 2 multipurpose lithium grease after every 10
hours of service.
•
Periodically lubricate all other pivot points; i.e. the seat pivot bracket, idler pivot
bracket on the deck, deck lift shaft assembly, etc. with a quality lubricating oil.
General Battery Information
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.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

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.
Battery Removal
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
The battery is located beneath the seat frame. To remove the battery:
1.
Remove the hex washer screw securing the battery hold-down bracket to
the frame. Then flip the battery hold-down bracket up to free the battery.
See Figure 22.
Battery Hold-Down Bracket
2.
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.
3.
Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the red positive battery
lead to the positive battery post (marked POS).
4.
Carefully lift the battery out of the tractor.
5.
Install the battery by repeating the above steps in the reverse order.
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 riding mower body with tools
being used to connect the cables.
