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

2.Drain oil while engine is warm from operation.

3.Fasten deck belt spans together with mechanics wire or tie wrap to prevent oil from draining onto belt.

4.Place pan under machine to catch oil. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil to drain and replace oil drain plug.

Before reinstalling new filter, apply a thin coating of Exmark 4-Cycle Premium Engine Oil on the surface of the rubber seal. Turn filter clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter adapter then tighten filter an additional 1 full turn.

7.Remove wire or tie wrap from belt spans

8.Start the engine at idle for 5 minutes. Stop engine and wait three minutes, then check the oil level. If required, add oil to bring level to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Do Not overfill.

9.Check for leaks, including around the oil filter.

10.Wipe up any spilled oil.

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

Service Interval: Every 40 hours

1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 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.
