to the left then push the seat forward or back to the desired posi-
tion. Release the lever so the seat will lock in place.

Digital Tachometer and Hour Meter: (See Figure 1) Located on
the right side of the mower of the ignition switch. When the
machine is running the tachometer displays engine rpm. When the
machine is off the tachometer displays running time.

Note:

There will be a flashing “LUBE” for each recommended lubrication interval.

There is a flashing “OIL” at each recommended engine oil and filter change. Flashing
of “Lube” or “Oil” will continue for 1 hour regardless of maintenance done to the unit.

10. Choke Lever: (See Figure 2) The Choke Lever is located on the

left instrument panel next to the seat. The Choke Lever is operated
manually. Having the Choke Lever in the ON position helps the
engine to start during initial start-up. During normal operation the
Choke Lever should be in the OFF position.

B. Initial Adjustments and Service

Check the fluid levels and tires:

Note:

These checks should be made daily, before starting the engine.

Fuel: Using a good grade of unleaded, regular gasoline (for
a gasoline engine), fill the fuel tank (beside the engine on
the left or right side of the mower). When the fuel reaches
one inch from the top of the tank, stop. DO NOT OVER-
FILL. Space must be left for expansion.

Engine Oil: (Filled at the factory before shipment.) Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe it off and reinsert it. Pull it out again
and read the oil level. If it is below the operating range, add
oil through the fill tube using a funnel to bring it up to the
top of the operating range.

Note:

Gasoline Engine: Use SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 engine oil, rated for ser-

vice SJ.

Hydraulic Oil: (Filled at the factory before shipment.) The
hydraulic oil tank is located beneath the operator’s seat.
Always wipe off the area around the oil tank fill neck before
checking the oil level to prevent dirt from contaminating the
oil. Remove the cap and make sure the oil level is up to the
lowest hole on the oil tank fill neck. The top hole is for vent-
ing. If the oil level is low, fill with a good grade of SAE20W-
50 oil.

Tires: 8-10 psi Rear, 25-30 psi Front Caster Tires
