LUBRICATION

Wheel and Deck Zerks

Use only good quality bearing grease.
Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains
a good quality.
Front Wheel Mount
Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with
a grease gun until the grease is forced out around
the top washer.
Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each
set of wheel bearings.
Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely.
If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the
foot plate must be removed to access the center
spindle.
Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per
spindle.

Transaxle Fluid Change

Fluid and Filter Change
The hydraulic drive is designed with an external
filter for ease of maintenance. To ensure
constant fluid quality levels and longer life, an
oil filter change interval of every 500 hours is
recommended.
The following procedure can be performed with
the pump installed in the vehicle, and the vehicle
on level ground.
1. Lock the vehicle park brake.
2. Place an oil drain pan with a two gallon
capacity beneath the oil reservoir. Remove
the drain port and drain oil. Remove the oil
filter from the pump.
3. After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base
surface off and apply a film of new oil to the
gasket of the new replacement filter.
4. Fill the new oil filter with oil and install the filter
by hand. Turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter
gasket contacts the filter base surface.
5. Fill reservoir with synthetic 15W 50 oil to the
level of the lower hole in the fill tube. DO NOT
fill above the level of the upper hole. After
purging, check levels and add oil if necessary.
6. Reinstall the reservoir cap by hand. Do not
overtighten.
