Tire Inflation

Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Improper inflation will affect tire life and operator comfort, and also could affect the level of the mower deck and quality of cut. See the tire side wall for proper inflation range.

Ensure that the valve caps are securely tightened in place to prevent air loss and to protect the valve core.

Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.

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 cables and termi- nals clean and free of corrosion.

•Always keep the terminal covers in place over the battery terminals.

•Avoid tipping. Even a sealed battery will leak electrolyte when tipped.

Battery Storage

•When storing the tractor for extended periods, disconnect the negative battery cable. It is not necessary to remove the battery.

•All batteries discharge during stor- age. Keep the exterior of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty bat- tery will discharge more rapidly.

•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.

•Recharge the battery before return- ing to service. Although the tractor may start, the engine charging sys- tem may not fully recharge the battery.

Lubrication

Important Information: The service life and reliability of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication is a very important part of that care. The maintenance schedule reflects the minimal require- ments to maintain the equipment. More frequent inspections and mainte- nance is preferable.

Using the lubrication illustration as a guide, make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed and functioning.

Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.

Using a pressure lubricating gun, always force the lubricant through the full length of each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered the bearing.

Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a good grade of lubricating oil.

Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it to a remote location for a prolonged period of time.

Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be expensive to replace.

Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and dirt.

Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt from the grease fittings before lubricating.
