4.
If the level is low, add fluid to raise the level to the full mark.
5.
Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck.
CHECK THE PLANETARY GEAR DRIVE
OIL (Fig. 7)
Check the oil if external leakage is noted. Use high-quality SAE
85W-140 wt. gear lubrication as replacement.
System capacity is 47.3 cl.
1.
With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel so the
check/drain plug is at either three or nine o'clock position.
2.
Remove plug. Oil should be to bottom of the hole.
3.
Add gear oil, if necessary, to bring fluid up to the correct level
and install the plug.
4.
Repeat steps 1–3 on the opposite gear assembly.
CHECK REAR AXLE LUBRICANT
(Model 03801 Only) (Fig. 8)
The rear axle is shipped from the factory filled with SAE 85W-140
wt. gear lubrication. Check the level before the engine is first start-
ed and every 400 hours thereafter. Capacity is 2.3 l. Visually inspect
for leaks daily.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove a check plug from one end of the axle and make sure
lubricant is up to bottom of hole. If the level is low, remove the
fill plug and add enough lubricant to bring the level up to the
bottom of the check plug holes.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release some of
the air to reduce the pressure. Correct air pressure in the front and
rear tires is 103–138 kPa.
IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in all tires to assure a
good quality-of-cut and proper machine performance. DO NOT
UNDER INFLATE.
