Maintenance Procedure
• Change the transmission fluid.
• Check the wheel-lug nuts.
• Check the safety-interlock system.
• Inspect the blades.
• Clean under the mower deck.
• Check the tire pressure.
• Adjust the caster-pivot bearing.
• Change the transmission fluid.
• Paint chipped surfaces.
• Perform all maintenance procedures before storage.
• Apply anti-seize compound to the cushion knobs.
• Grease the front caster pivots (more often in dirty or dusty conditions).
• Grease the caster-wheel hubs.
– Allow machine components to cool.
• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Check the parking brake operation frequently.
Service the brake as needed.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
• Do not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic jacks
to support the machine; support the machine with
jack stands whenever you raise the machine.
• Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the
blades; never straighten or weld them.
• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• Keep your hands and feet away from hot surfaces.
• Keep all hardware tightened, especially the
blade-attachment hardware.
