The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
DANGER
■ Full chain shielding is recommended when op-
erating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
•
If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation is recommended to be
stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet
(92 m).
•
This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and pro-
tective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every
mowing condition. It is possible for objects
to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as
300 feet (92 m).
•
Check that chain shielding is in good condi-
tion and replace any damaged chain links.
WARNING
■ Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or
other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safe-
ty goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can
easily penetrate skin and will cause serious in-
jury or death.
■ Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin,
it must be surgically removed as soon as possi-
ble by a doctor familiar with this form of injury
or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
■ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■ Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until engine
is stopped, power unit is properly secured,
equipment and all components are lowered to
the ground, and system pressure is released by
operating all valve control levers.
■ Before dismounting power unit or perform-
ing any service or maintenance, follow these
steps: disengage power to equipment, lower
the 3-point hitch and all raised components to
the ground, operate valve levers to release any
hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop en-
gine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

OWNER SERVICE
■ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,
and head; and respirator or filter mask where
appropriate.
LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 9 and Figure 10 for lubrication points and
frequency or lubrication based on normal operating
conditions. Sever or unusual operating conditions may
require more frequent lubrication.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thorough-
ly before attaching grease gun. One good pump of
most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule
is followed.
Gearbox Lubrication
Use SAE 90W gear lube in gearboxes. Fill to plug on
side of gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evidence of
leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs.
Driveline Lubrication
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joints every eight operating
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could re-
sult in damage to U-joints, gearbox and drivelines.
1. Lower mower decks to the ground.
2. Disconnect drivelines from decks.
3. Separate driveline half.
4. Apply grease all around and along inner shaft.
5. Reassembly driveline halves and connect to
gearboxes.
6. Raise and lower decks several time to distribute
grease along drivelines.
To grease the telescoping shaft of the CV drive, the
drive must be disconnected from the tractor and fully
collapsed to expose the grease fitting.
