Push the oil drain valve in slightly, then rotate counterclockwise and pull outward to begin draining oil. See Figure 12.

Service the oil filter (if so equipped) as instructed in the separate engine manual

packed with your unit.

Perform the above steps in the opposite order after oil has finished draining.

Refill the engine with new motor oil.

IMPORTANT: Refill the engine with the proper capacity and weight of motor oil as instructed in the separate engine manual.

Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty condition. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit.

The spark plug(s) should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season. Replacement is recommended at the start of each mowing season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifications.

CLEANING THE ENGINE AND DECK

Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly. Do NOT allow grass, leaves, and dirt to accumulate around the cooling fins of the engine or on any other part of the machine, especially the pulleys and other moving parts.

Clean the underside of the deck with a wisk broom, putty knife or forced air after each mowing.

IMPORTANT: The use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT recommended. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in a shortened life of the tractor and reduce its serviceability.
