3.Remove the oil drain plug from the right hand side of the engine. Allow oil to drain, replace drain plug.

4.Replace the oil filter per the engine owner’s manual. Clean around oil filter and unscrew filter to remove.

Check Tire Pressures

Service Interval: Every 40 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 12–16 psi (83–110 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.Semi-pneumatic caster tires Do Not need to be inflated.

Note: A more uniform cutting height may be obtained with higher tire pressure on rough terrain. A lower tire pressure provides more flotation.

Check Condition Of Belts

Service Interval: Every 40 hours

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

2.Remove the mower deck belt shield to check mower blade drive belt condition.

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