Engine Oil Capacity (Honda GXV340)

1.16 U.S. Quarts 1.1 Liters

a) Engine Oil Change Procedure:

 1. Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete oil drain. Pivot the Rear Axle To The Operation Position [F]. Place a bucket under the Oil Drain Hose [WW], [FIG. 12, FIG. 13] to catch the used oil. Remove the oil drain plug on the end of the Oil Drain Hose [WW] and wait for all of the used oil to be drained for the engine.

 2. Re-install and securely tighten the plug in the end of the Oil Drain Hose [WW].

 3. Re-fill engine with the recommended oil type. See the engine operation manual for the oil fill location and proper oil level. Note that the required oil capacity will be slightly larger because of the volume of oil contained in the Oil Drain Hose [WW].

 4. Check the oil level. If the proper oil level is indicated, re-install the oil fill cap.

 5. Dispose of the used oil in a proper container

and in a manner that is compatible with the environment.

When Required:

1)All Models:

a)Lubrication: Gearbox Grease Port [RR 3]

[See FIG. 29]: Used to lubricate the transmission gears, if required. These gears are factory lubricated with 24 ounces (.68 kg) of Lubriplate (Brand) 630-2 or equal, and should not require any lubrication until service work to the gears is required (at 500 - 1000 hours). Lubricate as required with Lubriplate (Brand) 630-2 or equal. To inspect the inside of the gearbox, remove the two Capscrews that attach the Gearbox Grease Port Cover [RR 3] and remove the cover. A 1.00” (25 mm) hole in the gearbox allows visual inspection of the condition and quantity of the grease and the gears.

Note: Early models have one removable Capscrew that exposes a .50” (12 mm) diameter inspection hole.

b)Replace Accessory Disk Isolators: Each of the Accessory Disks [P] have six (6) rubber isolators (See Parts List - Gearbox Assembly) that constantly flex and move as the machine operates. Over time the isolators can deteriorate and wear out. Check to see if they are damaged or deteriorated, if so, replace immediately. All twelve (12) isolators should be replaced as a set.

c)V-Belt Inspection: Check to see that the V-belts are not frayed or worn. If they are, replace immediately.

8. V-Belt Tension

All Models:

Check V-Belt tension when unit is new and never set belt tension beyond this point.

The machine is equipped with high tension V-Belts. The belts are properly tensioned at the factory, but after a few hours of operation they will stretch and become loose.

a)Tensioning Blade Shaft V-Belts:

1)Loosen the four (4) Motor Base Capscrews

[ZZ][FIG. 3] that attach the motor or engine platform to the frame.

2)Loosen the Jam Nut [YY] [FIG. 32] until it is not preventing the Belt Tensioning Drawbolt

[UU]from rotating.

3)Tighten the Belt Tensioning Drawbolt [UU] [FIG. 32] until the V-belts are tightened to the original factory tension.
