Cleaning The Engine

This tractor has an air-cooled engine. Air must be able to circulate freely around the engine through the fly- wheel screen, through the cooling shrouds and over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep these areas free of accumulated dirt and debris or the engine will overheat; possibly causing extensive engine damage. Regularly clean the inside of the side panels, dash intake screen and grille to ensure adequate cooling. If debris has accumulated inside the cooling shrouds, the blower housing and cooling shrouds should be removed and the cooling fins cleaned.

WARNING: This machine is designed to cool properly with the side panels in place. Oper- ating without the panels could cause premature accumula- tion of dirt and debris on the engine, resulting in inade- quate cooling.

WARNING: Keep the muffler area clean. Before running the engine, clean the muffler area to remove all combustible debris. Inspect the muffler area often when mowing during the Fall season.

Checking Engine Oil Level

Before each use, the oil level of the engine crankcase to see that it is filled to the correct level. Close monitoring of the oil level during the first 10 hours of operation of the engine is especially important and the oil level should be checked EVERY HOUR during the first five hours of operation.

Before checking the oil level, clean the area around the oil level dipstick to prevent debris from entering the crankcase. Refer to Figure 26. Always keep the oil level between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the dipstick. See Figure 25.

When checking the oil level, the engine must be cold, the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way into the tube before being withdrawn for a true reading.

Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is level.

Adding Engine Oil

WARNING: Never overfill the crankcase. The engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed to add- ing a given quantity of oil. Always check the level on the dipstick before adding more oil.
