5. WASTE DISPOSAL
5.1 MOTOR OIL DISPOSAL
Engine oil and hydraulic oil are both pollutants to the environment. Dispose of used oil at a certified recycling center or according to your state and local regulations.
5.2 BATTERY DISPOSAL
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and can cause severe burns
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or if it touches skin can cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing when handling electrolyte.
♦Do not swallow electrolyte.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed in the garbage. Management and disposal practices must be within relevant federal, state, or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the battery is no longer operating and is being scrapped, take the battery to a local certified recycling center. If no local recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery reseller.
6.TROUBLE SHOOTING
6.1MOWER PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT (WITH LEVERS FULLY FORWARD).
a)Refer to Tracking Adjustment Section 4.2.5
b)Check air pressure in drive tires.
For 20 and 23 HP Kohler Units: The drive tires should be inflated to 13 psi (90 kpa).
For 27 HP Koher Units: The drive tires should be inflated to 9 psi (62 kpa)
For All Units:
6.2MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.
a)Check air pressure in drive tires.
For 20 and 23 HP Kohler Units: The drive tires should be inflated to 13 psi (90 kpa).
For 27 HP Koher Units: The drive tires should be inflated to 9 psi (62 kpa)
For All Units:
A more uniform cutting height may be obtained with higher tire pressure on rough terrain. A lower tire pressure provides more flotation.
b)Check deck leveling (See Adjustments in Deck Manual).
Note: The front of the mower deck will be approximately 1/4” lower than the back of the mower deck. This is the “rake” of the deck.
c)Check the distance from the bottom edge of the deck skirt to the tip of each blade. Measurement should be consistent between all blade tips.
