MAINTENANCE
5
Fasteners
Check all fasteners annually for any signs of loosening
or damage.
Excessive vIbration is a primary cause of fatigue fail-
ures. Vibration can loosen fasteners and fatigue metal.
Transmission
The 4 speed peerless transmission has 16 oz.(454 ml)
of 80w-90 gear lube.
The gear lube should not need to be changed unless it
has become contaminated.
Engine
For maintenance and repair procedures, contact the
engine manufacturer.
Emissions
In order to meet the new EPA regulations, there has
been some changes to the fuel system. The fuel tank
is blow moulded and composed of a high density poly-
mer. The fuel cap has a ratchet feature that will prevent
the end user from over tightening it.
The fuel cap is vented through a small hole located in
the top of the inner fuel cap. The air is drawn in through
the gap between the inner and outer fuel cap shells.
See Figure 2.5.
Fuel line
IMPORTANT: This mower uses the Green-bar
low permeation fuel line that is mandated by the
EPA. It minimizes the gasoline fumes that perco-
late into the atmosphere through the fuel line.
Use the same type of line when replacing the
fuel line. See Figure 2.6.
