MAINTENANCE PREDATOR-PRO SERIES LUBRICATION Every 50 hours of operation, lubricate the following points (1-4) with grease: 1. Deck lift rockshaft (1 point) 2. Deck lift pivots (6 points) 3. Brake lever pivot (1 point) 4. Push arms (2 points located at rear of cutterdeck under each fuel tank) 5.
MAINTENANCE PREDATOR-PRO SERIES HYDRAULIC SYSTEM Fluid level in the hydraulic system should be checked after the first 5 hours of operation, and every 100 hours thereafter, or when a leak has occurred. If the fluid is low, check all components for leaks. To check, remove reservoir cap M.
MAINTENANCE PREDATOR-PRO SERIES ENGINE OIL Do not perform engine maintenance without the engine off, spark plug wires disconnected and PTO disengaged. AFTER FIRST FIVE (5) HOURS While the engine is warm: 1. Release the oil drain hose assembly from the engine clip J.
MAINTENANCE PREDATOR-PRO SERIES ENGINE COOLING Continued operation with a clogged cooling system will cause severe overheating and can result in en- gine damage. Daily: Clean air intake screen S on air cooled engines and T on liquid cooled engines. Every 100 hours: Clean cooling fins beneath blower housing H with reference to information in the engine manufacturer's manual.
MAINTENANCE PREDATOR-PRO SERIES CLEANING MACHINE Clean the machine after use. Compressed air is recommended. Do not use a pressure washer. The machine will run cooler and last longer if kept free of clippings and other debris. A clean machine also re- duces the risk of fire due to accumulation of combus- tible debris and chaff.
