MAINTENANCE Checking the Engine’s Cooling Air Intake Check that the engine’s cooling air intake is free from leaves, grass, and dirt. If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine cooling deteriorates, which can lead to engine damage. The cooling air intakes rotates when the engine is running. Mind your fingers.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Air Filter - Briggs & Stratton Engine Standard air filter If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled disrupting operation. For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval).
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Air Filter - Kohler Engine These engines are equipped with a replaceable, high density paper air cleaner element. Some engines are also equipped with an oiled, foam precleaner which surrounds the paper element. Two different capacity air cleaner systems are available. Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also check for loose or damaged components.
MAINTENANCE Replacing Heavy Duty Air Filter If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly and the dust load indicator has turned red the air filter may be clogged. If run with a clogged air filter, disruption of operation can occur. Cleaning/replacing the air filter is carried out as follows: Only do so when the dust indicator is red. WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if touched.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Fuel Filter Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every 100 hours (once per season) or more regularly if it is clogged. Replace the filter as follows: 1. Move the hose clamps away from the filter. Use flat-nosed pliers. 2. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends. 3. Push the new filter into the hose ends. Position the filter with the “FLOW” arrow pointing up toward the fuel pump. If necessary, a soap solution can be applied to the filter ends to ease mounting. 4.
MAINTENANCE Checking the Parking Brake Visually check that no damage is found on the lever, links, or switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform a standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action. To adjust the parking brake, contact the Husqvarna service workshop. WARNING!

Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key. 4. Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped. 5. Disconnect the spark plug wire from all spark plugs and place the wire where it cannot come in contact with the plug.
MAINTENANCE To adjust anti-scalp rollers Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the desired cutting height in the operating position. Antiscalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust Anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a flat level surface. CZ-9 Anti-scalp roller 1.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning and Washing Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks. Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner.
MAINTENANCE Parking brake To adjust parking brake Jack up unit and support properly with jack stands. Allow clearance to work at rear transaxles. Before making any adjustments: Set park brake. Measure the distance between the rod swivel pin and the brake arm washer. With the brake engaged, there should be a gap of 1/8" to 1/2" (3 mm to 13 mm) between the swivel pin and the brake arm washer. If measurement is out of range adjust as follows: Disengage park brake lever.
LUBRICATION Lubrication Lubrication Schedule EZ 7 8011-672-2 12/12 Every year 1/52 Every Week 1/365 Every day Lubricate with grease gun Oil change Lubricate with oil can Level check Filter change *Change transaxles (transmission) filters. General Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulfide grease.
LUBRICATION Lubricating the Cables If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation. If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
LUBRICATION 4. Deck outer spindle Lubricate using a grease gun, one zerk, each side 2-3 strokes. Use only good quality bearing grease. 5. Engine Oil Changing the Engine Oil The engine oil should be changed for the first time after 5-8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it should be changed every 50 hours. 8011-733 Deck outer spindle IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.
LUBRICATION Checking the Oil Level Check the oil level in the engine when the machine is standing level and the engine is stopped. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then replace it. The dipstick should be screwed into place. Take the dipstick out again and read the oil level. 8011-500 Remove the dipstick The oil level should lie between the markings on the dipstick.
