Before reinstalling new filter, apply a thin coating of oil on the surface of the rubber seal. Turn filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter adapter then tighten filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.

5.Clean around oil fill cap and remove cap. Fill to specified capacity and replace cap.

6.Use oil recommended in engine owner’s manual. Do Not overfill. Start the engine and check for leaks. Stop engine and recheck oil level.

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

Service Interval: Every 40 hours

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.

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 12–14 psi (83–97 kPa).

4.Inflate tires to pressures stated above. Measure the circumference of each drive tire. Adjust tire pressures within the above range to try to make tire circumferences match as closely as possible.

5.For Serial Nos. 599,999 and Lower: Check the tire pressure in the pneumatic front caster tires. Adjust the tire pressure to 16 psi (110 kPa).
