Maintenance

1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.

2.Clean area around hydraulic reservoir cap and remove cap. Oil level should be to the top of the baffle inside the tank. If not, add oil. Use Exmark Premium Hydro Oil. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until snug. Do Not overtighten.

Note: The baffle is labeled “HOT” and “COLD”. The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil. The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is at 225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate level depending upon the temperature of the oil. For example: If the oil is about 150°F (65°C), fill to halfway between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels. If the oil is at room temperature (about 75°F (24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.

Check Tire Pressures

Service Interval: Every 50 hours

1.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.

2.Check tire pressure in drive tires.

3.Inflate drive tires to 13 psi (90 kPa).

4.Semi-pneumatic caster tires do not need to be inflated.

Check Condition Of Belts

Service Interval: Every 50 hours

1.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.

2.Look on the top side of the cutting deck to check the mower blade drive belt condition.

3.Look under the engine deck to check the pump drive belt condition.

4.Check all idler arms to be sure they pivot freely.

Lubricate Grease Fittings

Note: See chart for service intervals.

1.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake.
