9.HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONS:

Before each use, check to be sure that the cooling fins of the hydrostatic transmissions are clean. Excessive accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may cause the transmissions to overheat.

NEVER WASH ACROSS TOP OF RESERVOIR with water or steam. Fill reservoir as required per the maintenance schedule listed in this book.

10.HYDROSTAT DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:

(The hydrostatic drive is equipped with an automatic, anti-backlash belt take-up)

A. Remove the 3/8° bolt lockwasher, heavy washer, and spring, from the rear of the assembly.

B. Squeeze the clamp latch to release the clamp, allowing the idler arm/pulley to swing forward towards the front of the mower. Remove old belt if required. Replace with new belt. C. With the belt in place on all pullies reinsert the spring, heavy washer, lockwasher, and 3/8° bolt. Tighten 3/8" bolt fully.

11.LEVELING THE DECK:

A.Set the tire pressure on all four tires

B. Move the tractor to a hard, level surface (i.e. Concrete or blacktop). Place a 2 x 4 board under all four comers of the deck shell, just inside of the anti-scalping wheels. Lower the deck down onto the boards. The deck must rest on the boards, NOT the anti-scalping wheels.. Adjust the deck hangers longer or shorter until the deck "just" comes off of the boards. Remove the boards and verify that the deck is hanging on all four deck hangers, re-adjust if necessary. Lock the jam nuts on the two front deck hangers. (NOTE: the two rear deck hangers will be easier to adjust if the fender skirts are removed).
