Maintenance

Checking the Tyre Pressure

Service Interval: Every 25 hours

Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tyres at
20 psi (138 kPa). Check the pressure at the valve stem
(Figure 41) after every 25 operating hours or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Check the tyres when they are
cold to get the most accurate pressure reading.

Servicing the Transaxle Fluid

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Service the

transaxle fluid.

Always keep the fluid level at the full level when the
transaxle is cold.

Note: The transaxle is factory sealed and does not
require oil changes.
Fluid Type: SAE 20W-50 engine oil (API service
SH/CD is recommended)

Checking the Fluid Level

1. Park the tractor on a level surface.

2. Disengage the blade control (PTO) and set the

parking brake.

3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all

moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.

4. Clean around the fill plug (Figure 42) so that dirt

cannot fall into the reservoir if you need to add fluid.
