Lubrication plan

Wheel change

In order to ensure the ease of movement of the moving parts, we recommend lubricating the following parts after 10 hours of operation.

Front axle:

Steering swivel right and left (lubrication nipple):

- with multi-purpose grease

Bearing of the front axle on the frame

- with spray oil

Steering:

Gear segment and steering pinion on steering gear

- with multi-purpose grease

Front / rear wheels:

roller bearings and hub

- with multi-purpose grease

For lubrication of the axles, the front and rear wheels must be dismantled (see Change of Wheels).

Pivots and bearings:

Lubrication of all moving pivot and bearing points,

45

A wheel change may only be done on a level and firm base.

1. Park the lawn tractor with the parking brake and secure it against rolling away with wedges.

2.Lift the lawn tractor on the side of the wheel to be chan ged and place a suitable object (e.g. a block of wood) under a supporting element of the chassis.

3. Push the circlip off with a screwdriver and remo ve the spacer shim.

4. Pull the wheel off the axle.

IMPORTANT!

Do not lose the adjusting spring when pulling the rear wheels off the axle.

When putting back together, grease the axles with customary multi-purpose grease.

as well as the cable pulls: - with spray oil.

Oil change

See operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.

The oil change can be done by sucking the oil out via the oil filling opening (a corresponding suction device can be purchased from your dealer).

IMPORTANT!

Dispose of used oil in accordance with statutory directives. Do not discharge used oil into the sewers or the ground. Contamination of groundwater is severely punished. Or your local authority can tell you where to dispose of it.

Air filter and spark plug

See the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.

Transmission / hydro-transmission

The transmission needs no maintenance as it has been given a life-time filling of oil in the factory.

Check tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.

Examine the precise air pressure on the tyre.

1 PSI = 0.07 bar

The tyre pressure can be checked without any difficulties by using a standard foot-pump.

STARTER BATTERY

The starter battery can be found underneath the bonnet.

As a matter of principle, the battery has been charged in the factory.

Further charging is necessary:

a)before storage for the winter break

b)if the machine is not used for a long time (longer than 3 months).

IMPORTANT!

We recommend charging this maintenance-free and gas-tight starter battery with a charging device specifically suited for this (can be purchased from specialist dealers).

IMPORTANT!

The charging current of the charging device may not exceed 5 A and the charging voltage 14.4 V. If there is a higher charging voltage, there is a danger of the starter battery exploding.
