BATTERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suffi-
cient for normal use.
However, pedodic charging of the
battery with an automotive charger will extend its life.
•
Keep battery and terminals dean,
•
Keep battery botts tight,
•
Keep small vent holes open (See "CONNECT
BAT-
TERY" in the Assembty section of this manual).
•
Recharge at 6-10 amperes for I hour,
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause
the battery to "leak" power.
•
Open battery box door.
•
Disconnect BLACK batter,/cabie
first then RED bat-
tery cable and remove battery from tractor.
•
Wash
batten! with solution of four tablespoons
of
baking soda to one gallon of water. Be careful not to get
the soda solution into the ceils.
•
Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
•
Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush
until bright.
•
Coat terminals with grease or petroleum ietty.
•
Reinstall battery (See "CONNECT
BATTERY" in the
Assembly section of this manuat).
V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterio ration and wear after 100 hours of
operation
and replace if necessary.
The botts are not
adjustable,
Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear.
NOTE: Although multFviscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption
when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tractor is not used for 25 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation.
Tighten oil fitl
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil IeveL
TO CHANGE ENGtNE OIL (See Figs. 15 and 16)
Determine temperature range expected before oil change.
All oil must meet API service classification
SFor SG.
•
Be sure tractor is on level surface.
•
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
•
Catch oil in a suitable container.
•
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine when changing oil.
•
Remove drain piug.
•
After oit has drained completely, replace oil drain plug
and tighten securely.
•
Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill, For approximate
capacity see
"PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS"
on page 3 of this
manual,
•
Usa gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be
sure dipstick cap is tightened securely
for accurate
reading.
Keep oil at "FULL" fine on dipstick.
TRANSAXLE
COOLING
Keep transaxie free from build-up of dirt and chaff which
can restrict cooling.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Only use high quatity detergent
oil rated with APt service
classification SF or SG, Seiect the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature,
