Page 29: Mowing Tips
Mowing Tips • Observe and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions. • The cutting deck should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. The blades should be parallel to the ground or slightly tipped down in the front. - Page 30 • Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings will fasten under the cowling. • Hose the mower deck with water after each use. Hose especially underneath. Do not spray high pressure spray directly on top of spindles.

Page 42: Kawasaki Engine Air Filter
Kawasaki Engine Air Filter If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled and disrupt operation. For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval). -
Page 43: Kohler Engine Air Filter
Kohler Engine Air Filter If the engine seems to lack power or runs rough the reason may be that the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to service the air filter at regular intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 35 for correct service interval). -
Page 44: Replacing The Fuel Filter
Replacing the Fuel Filter Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every 100 hours (once per season) or more regularly if it is clogged. Replace the filter as follows: Move the hose clamps away from the filter. Use flat-nosed pliers. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends. Push the new filter into the hose ends. -
Page 45: Checking The Parking Brake
Checking the Parking Brake Visually check that no damage is found on the thumb latches. Perform a test drive and check that there is a sufficent braking action. To adjust the brake, contact the service workshop if you are uncertain. Set the thumb latches in the neutral locked position. -
Page 46: Checking The Blades
Checking the Blades In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged. Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks must be replaced. Check the blade mounts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The replacement or sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop. -
Page 47: Cleaning And Washing
Cleaning and Washing Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s lifespan.

Page 50: Lubricating The Cables
LUBRICATION Lubricating the Cables If possible, lubricate both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. - Page 51 4. Changing the Oil Filter Drain the engine oil in accordance with the description under the heading Engine Oil/Change Engine Oil. On Kohler engine, drain the filter by the plug at the filter base before removal. Remove the oil filter. If necessary, use a filter remover.
- Page 52 5. Engine oil Kawasaki Engine Changing the Engine Oil The engine oil should be changed for the first time after 8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it should be changed every 100 hours. WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine.
- Page 53 LUBRICATION The oil level should lie between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ”ADD” mark, fill the oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick. Never fill above the ”FULL” mark. The oil is filled through the hole for the dipstick.
- Page 54 Kohler Engine Changing the Engine Oil Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table on page 54. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
- Page 55 Checking the Oil Level The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use as follows: Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan.
- Page 56 Oil Recommendations Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure. Oil Type Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class...
