Maintenance
Lubricate Pivot Points
The mechanical pivot points on the rider must be
oiled after every 25 hours of operation; lubricate more
frequently when conditions are dusty or sandy.
IMPORTANT: To lubricate all the mechanical
pivot points, the rider must be tipped on its rear
end. However, before the rider is tipped, drain all
gasoline from fuel tank and oil from crankcase.
Also remove battery so acid does not spill on the
rider.

Gasoline From Fuel Tank, page 34.
2. Drain oil from crankcase: refer to Changing
Crankcase Oil, steps 1-6, page 29.

and Charging Battery, page 14.

Cleaning Cooling System
Clean cooling system frequently. Remove build–up of
grass, dirt or other debris from the cylinder and
cylinder head cooling fins, air intake screen on
flywheel end, and carburetor–governor levers and
linkage. This will help ensure adequate cooling and
correct engine speed and reduce the possibility of
overheating and mechanical damage.

Tire Pressure

Service Interval/Specification
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Check the pressure at the valve stem after
every 25 operating hours or monthly, whichever
occurs first (Fig. 12). Check the tires when they are
cold to get the most accurate pressure reading.
Set pressure to 12 psi (83 kPa) front and rear for
tractors with serial numbers 9902000 and prior.
Set pressure to 20 psi (138 kPa) (tires with markings
of "Kenda", "Super Turf") for tractors with serial
numbers 9902001 and up.
