Maintenance

Checking the Tyre Pressure

Service Interval: Every 25 hours

Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tyres at 20 psi (138 kPa). Check the pressure at the valve stem (Figure 41) after every 25 operating hours or yearly, whichever occurs first. Check the tyres when they are cold to get the most accurate pressure reading.

Servicing the Transaxle Fluid

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Service the transaxle fluid.

Always keep the fluid level at the full level when the transaxle is cold.

Note: The transaxle is factory sealed and does not require oil changes.

Fluid Type: SAE 20W-50 engine oil (API service SH/CD is recommended)

Checking the Fluid Level

1.Park the tractor on a level surface.

2.Disengage the blade control (PTO) and set the parking brake.

3.Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

4.Clean around the fill plug (Figure 42) so that dirt cannot fall into the reservoir if you need to add fluid.
