Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward. Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward tip-over could cause serious injury or death. Operating Tips • Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp. Fast Throttle Setting • Use only a single, full width ramp; Do Not use individual ramps for each side of the unit.
Avoid Cutting Too Low If the cutting width of the mower is wider than the mower you previously used, raise the cutting height to ensure that uneven turf is not cut too short. Long Grass If the grass is ever allowed to grow slightly longer than normal, or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut the grass at this setting. Then cut the grass again using the lower, normal setting.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. After the first 200 hours • Change the hydraulic system filter. Before each use or daily • • • • • • Check the safety interlock system. Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose or damaged parts. Check the oil level before starting or after every 8 hours. Check the hydraulic oil level in the expansion tank. Check the mower blades.
Premaintenance Procedures Lubrication Raising the Seat Grease Type: NGLI grade #2 multi-purpose gun grease. Make sure the motion control levers are locked in the neutral position. Lift the seat forward until the lanyard is tight. The following components can be accessed by raising the seat: Grease the front caster pivots and wheels (Figure 28).
Engine Maintenance Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose or damaged parts. This engine is equipped with a replaceable, high density paper air cleaner with a foam precleaner surrounding it. 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. Replace all bent or damaged air cleaner components.
Servicing the Engine Oil under extremely dusty, dirty conditions) Checking the Oil Level 1. Open the air cleaner cover door on the blower housing to access the air cleaner element (Figure 30). Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade control switch, stop the engine, engage parking brake, and remove the key. 2. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump. 3.
Every 25 hours 3. Disengage the blade control switch and move the motion controls outward to the neutral position and engage parking brake. Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher). 4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Crankcase Capacity: 2.0 qt (1.9 l) when the filter is changed. Refill with service class SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the “Viscosity Grades” table (Figure 32). 5.
10. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket on the new filter. 11. Install the replacement oil filter to the mounting pad. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the pad, then tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn (Figure 33). 12. Slowly pour approximately 80% of the specified oil into the filler tube. 13. Install the oil fill cap/dipstick and push firmly into place. Figure 35 1. Spark plug and wire location 14.
Fuel System Maintenance To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are kept clean at all times. 1. Remove the blower housing and any other cooling shrouds. 2. Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces as necessary. In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. 3.
Electrical System Maintenance Charging the Battery Removing the Battery Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal machine components causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. Figure 37 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Fuel tank Fuel shut off valve—off Fuel shut off valve Fuel shut off valve—on Fuel line from tank 6. 7. 8. 9. • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the machine.
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable. Voltage Reading Percent Charge Maximum Charger Settings Charging Interval 12.2 – 12.4 50–75% 16 volts/7 amps 1 Hour 12.0–12.2 25–50% 14.
Drive System Maintenance component/circuit for a malfunction or short. There is also a replaceable relay/s next to the fuse. Refer to your Parts manual for correct replacement components. Fuse: Block: • Main: 25 amp fuse, blade-type Checking the Tire Pressure • Charge Circuit: 20 amp fuse, blade-type Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Monthly (whichever comes first) • Auxiliary circuit: 15 amp fuse, blade-type Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as specified.
Hydraulic System Maintenance 5. Remove the vent plug on each transmission and fill through expansion reservoir, when oil comes out of vent reinstall plug. Torque plugs to 180 in-lb (244 N-m). Continue to add oil until it reaches the FULL COLD line on the expansion reservoir. Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily Check expansion tank and if necessary add MOBIL 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil to the FULL COLD line Figure 43 1. Oil filter 2. Vent plug 6.
Mower Maintenance Servicing the Cutting Blades Service Interval: Before each use or daily Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Figure 44 1. Cutting edge 2. Curved area Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the blades as necessary.
Checking for Loose Blades or Damaged Spring Disc Washers 1. Place a wrench on the blade bolt and torque to 45-55 ft lb (61-75 N-m). 2. With the wrench still on the blade bolt, hold the blade spindle stationary and using a rag or thickly padded glove, try to rotate the blade. If the blade rotates relative to the spindle guard without further tightening the blade bolt, the spring disc washer has been flattened or damaged and the bolt and washer assembly must be replaced (Figure 46).
11. Recheck that blocks fit just snugly under the deck skirt. Make sure all attachment bolts are tight 2. Move the motion control levers outward to the neutral position, engage parking brake, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 12. Continue leveling the deck by checking the front-to-rear blade slope; refer to the Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Blade Slope section. 3. Check the air pressure of all four tires.
(5.89 cm) blocks under each side of the front edge of the deck, but not under the anti-scalp roller brackets. 7. Loosen the leveling adjust locking nuts (item 4) on all four corners so that the deck is sitting securely on all four blocks. Make sure that the deck hangers are all the way down (at the top of the slot) and the deck lift foot lever is pushed back against the stop, then tighten the four leveling adjust locking nuts (Figure 51). Figure 52 1. Blades front to rear 2. Outside cutting edges 3.
5. Remove the nut, bolt, and pivot bushing from the deck strut (Figure 53). Carefully lower the front of the mower deck to the ground (Figure 54). The spring is under tension when installed and can cause personal injury. Be careful when removing the belt. Figure 54 1. Deck lift arm Figure 55 2. Deck strut 1. Outside puley 2. Spring 3. Idler pulley 6. Slide the mower rearward to remove the mower belt from the engine pulley. 7. Slide the mower out from underneath the machine. 4. Mower belt 5.
Replacing the Discharge Deflector 5. Make sure that the spring and rod are installed so that the rod is retained from sliding out by the front bracket and the spring holds the discharge deflector in the down position. Refer to (Figure 56) for proper orientation. Important: The discharge deflector must be spring loaded in the down position. Lift the deflector up to test that it snaps to the full down position.
Cleaning A broken or missing washout fitting could expose you and others to thrown objects or blade contact. Contact with blade or thrown debris can cause injury or death. Washing the Underside of the Mower Service Interval: Before each use or daily • Replace broken or missing washout fitting immediately, before using mower again. After each use, wash the underside of the mower to prevent grass buildup for improved mulch action and clipping dispersal. 1.
Storage F. Dispose of fuel properly. Recycle as per local codes. Cleaning and Storage Important: Do not store stabilizer/conditioned gasoline over 30 days. 1. Disengage the blade control switch, move the motion controls outward to the neutral position, engage parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key. 2. Remove grass clippings, dirt, and grime from the external parts of the entire machine, especially the engine.
Troubleshooting Important: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be connected and in proper operating condition prior to mower use. When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example: starting problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank. The following table lists some of the common causes of trouble. Do Not attempt to service or replace major items or any items that call for special timing of adjustments procedures (such as valves, governor, etc.).
