Maintenance Instructions

CHECKING/SERVICING

Drive Belts

Raise the body and inspect the condition of the three

(3)drive belts after every 25 hours of operation -- engine, PTO drive, and ground drive. If the belts show signs of cracking or deteriorating, the belts should be replaced. Refer to REPLACING/RE- PAIRING the Drive Belts in this section.

Mower Deck Gearbox Oil Seals

The mower deck gearbox seals should be inspected every 25 hours for evidence of oil leaking; particu- larly the lower oil seal on the blade drive gearbox. This seal is protected by the trash guard on the blade hub and seal protector plate on the housing, but is still vulnerable to seal damage due to operating in an adverse environment. The mower blade must be removed for inspection of the seal, so it is recom- mended to inspect the gearbox seals when blades are removed for sharpening. If an oil leak is noted, the seal should be replaced and the gearbox as- sembly relubricated. Refer to LUBRICATION for Mower Deck Gearbox Lubrication in this section.

Spark Plug

Every 100 hours, remove the spark plug, inspect, clean, and reset the gap (or replace with a new plug). Clean spark plug with a wire brush. If the electrodes are burned short or pitted, replace the plug (refer to Specifications for the proper type of replacement plug). Check the spark plug gap with a wire-type feeler gauge and set the gap between 0.028 and 0.032 in. (0.7 and 0.8 mm). Reinstall and tighten to 17 lb·ft (23 N·m).

Ignition

The Subaru engine is equipped with an electronic ignition. No breaker points, maintenance, or adjust- ments are necessary with this system. Contact an authorized Subaru engine dealer in case of ignition failure.

Fuel Lines and Clamps

Every year, inspect the fuel line from the tank to engine for deterioration or damage. Also, inspect the fuel line clamps for tightness. Good preven- tive maintenance calls for complete replacement of fuel lines and clamps every two (2) years.

Blade Brake Action

WARNING

It is important to check and maintain blade brake action for safe operation of the ma- chine.

Check the function of the cutter blade brake and blower brake by engaging the blade clutch (PTO), operating the engine at full throttle, then disengaging the clutch and measuring how quickly the blades stop. Watch the rotation of the blade drive shaft and blower pulley as a visual indication that movement has stopped. If the brake is working properly, all rotation will stop five (5) seconds after disen- gagement of the clutch. If the brake system mal- functions - blades do not stop in five (5) seconds - adjust or repair the brake before operating the mower. Refer to Blade Brake Band Adjustment in ADJUSTMENTS in this section, or contact your au- thorized Walker dealer for this service.
