MAINTENANCE
Begin with either side and put the motion 
control lever into the neutral position. Adjust 
the motion control linkage by rotating the 
double nuts (D) in the proper direction until 
the wheel stops rotating. See illustration. 
Move the motion control lever forward then 
into the neutral position and place it into the 
neutral slot. The wheel must be stopped 
completely at this point. Now do the same in 
reverse and release the lever. The lever 
should return to neutral on its own. If not see 
reverse spring detent adjustment.
Run engine full throttle to make sure wheels 
do not rotate. Readjust if any rotation occurs.
Repeat the whole process for the opposite 
side and tighten the nuts against the ball 
joints.
Turn machine off.
Reinstall the seat rod and check the wiring 
harness to the seat safety switch for a good 
connection and return the seat to the normal 
position.
Cutter Housings
Grease housings once weekly or every 40 to 
50 hours of use. Use a good synthetic grease. 
Pump grease in until a small amount purges 
from the popet on the underside of the deck. 
Check the torque of the pulley bolt 45 ft/lbs 
should be maintained.
Deck Lift Power Unit
Check oil level of unit located under the seat 
every 25 hours and add oil if necessary. 
Remove the vent plug on the power unit and 
only fill to within 3/4 of an inch below the top 
with 15W-50 oil.
Mule Drive System Adjustment
As the mule drive belt wears and elongates, 
some spring tension must be maintained on 
the left (self-adjusting) mule drive idler.
For best performance, occasionally adjust the 
right (fixed) mule drive idler position in the 
slot so central axis of idler pulleys align.
