Before Operating
DANGER
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling
the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running, hot, or when the machine is in an
enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank outside and
wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before starting the
engine. Store the fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place. Use Diesel fuel
for the engine only; not for any other purpose.
1. Fuel Tank Cap
CHECK THE TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The front axle housing acts as the reservoir for the
system. The transmission and axle housing are
shipped from the factory with 4.7 l (5 quarts) of
Mobil 424 engine oil. However, check the level of
transmission oil before first starting the engine and
daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units and stop the engine.
2. Remove the access panel behind the foot rest.
3. Unscrew the dipstick cap from the transmission
filler neck and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw
the dipstick into the filler neck. Remove the
dipstick and check the oil level. If the level is
not within 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) from the groove in
the dipstick, add enough oil to raise it to the

groove mark. DO NOT OVERFILL by more
than .6 cm (1/4 inch) above the groove.

4. Screw the dipstick filler cap finger-tight onto
the filler neck. It is not necessary to tighten the
cap with a wrench.
CHECK THE HYDRAULIC FLUID
The hydraulic system driving the reels is designed to
operate on anti-wear hydraulic fluid. The machine's
reservoir is filled at the factory with 32.2 l (8.5 gal-
lons) of Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid. Check the level
of hydraulic fluid before the first starting the engine
and daily thereafter.
