TRANSAXLE
COOLING
The transmission
fan and cooling
fins
should
be kept clean to assure
proper
cooling.
Do not attempt
to clean fan or transmis-
sion while engine is running or while the
transmission
is hot. To prevent
possible
damage
to seals, do not use high pressure
water or steam to clean transaxle.
, Inspect cooling
fan to be sure fan blades
are intact and clean.
.
Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clip-
pings and other materials.
To prevent
damage
to seals, do not use com-
pressed
air or high pressure
sprayer
to
clean cooling fins.
TRANSAXLE
PUMP
FLUID
The transaxle
was sealed at the factory
and fluid maintenance
is not required
for
the life of the transaxle.
Should
the trans-
axle ever leak or require servicing,
contact
your nearest
Sears or other qualified
service
center.
V-BELTS

V-belts for deterioration
and wear
after 100 hours of operation
and replace

NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30, 10W30
etc.)improve

in
cold weather,
they will result in increased
oil consumption
when used above 32°R
Check your engine oil level more frequent-
ly to avoid possible
engine damage
from
running
low on oil.
Change
the oil after every 50 hours of op-
eration
or at least once a year if the tractor
is not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase
oil level before start-
ing the engine and after each eight (8)
hours of operation.
Tighten
oil fill cap/
dipstick
securely
each time you check the
oil level.
TO CHANGE
ENGINE
OIL
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.
