Exmark Vantage 000 & Higher - Manual (Page 35)

Maintenance
• On clutch arm assembly between bearings and
shaft and between lower sheave and shaft.
• Between pump shafts and sheaves.
Dielectric Grease
Dielectric grease is used on all blade type electrical
connections to prevent corrosion and loss of contact.
Adjustments
Note: Disengage PTO, shut off engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, engage parking brake, and
remove key before servicing, cleaning, or making any
adjustments to the unit.
CAUTION
Raising the mower deck for service or
maintenance relying solely on mechanical
or hydraulic jacks could be dangerous. The
mechanical or hydraulic jacks may not be
enough support or may malfunction allowing
the unit to fall, which could cause injury.
Do Not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands
or equivalent support.
Deck Leveling
Note: Side to side deck leveling should be done by
an Authorized Service Dealer. Small adjustments can
be accomplished by increasing the tire pressure in
the tire on the low side.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
3. Check the air pressure in the drive tires. If needed,
adjust to the recommended inflation; refer to
Checking the Tire Pressure in Drive System
Maintenance section.
4. Set the height of cut lever to the 3 inch (7.6 cm)
position.
5. Raise the discharge deflector.
6. Carefully rotate the blades front to rear. Measure
from the tip of the front blade to the level surface
(Figure 22). The blades should measure 3 inches
(7.6 cm).
