Routine Maintenance
Engine Maintenance
Please refer to the engine manufacturer’s handbook
enclosed with this manual.
Battery Maintenance (Fig. 73)
The battery fitted to your tractor is a low maintenance
unit. Should your battery require charging for any
reason the maximum charge rate is 1.5 amps. If your
tractor does not start refer to the troubleshooting
section in this manual (pages 40 - 45).
To Clean the Cutter Deck
Remove the deck as instructed in earlier section,
stand it on its side and wash off accumulated
cuttings. DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY ONTO
BEARING HOUSINGS. To prevent a drop in
performance it may be necessary to routinely check
for this grass build up, particularly at the beginning of
the season when the grass is lush and wet. It is best
to regularly check and clean the Cutter Deck as often
as possible, this can be done by either removing the
Deck or raising the tractor safely on a ramp.
PLEASE NOTE: It is not recommended to use the
tractor without a deck as this can make it unstable.
Transmission Drive Belt
The transmission drive belt is self-tensioning. The
belt will retain its tension correctly when in use and
should only require maintenance during servicing.
Any adjustments to this belt must be carried out by
your dealer, anyone not familiar with setting the drive
belt may cause serious damage to the transmission.
Transmission Oil Tank (Fig. 74)
This is located in the Tractor rear body and should
be approximately half full when the machine is cold.
This level will rise when the engine is warm as the oil
expands. It should return to the half way point once
the machine has cooled down. The oil should not
need to be topped up in normal use. If a noticeable
drop in the level occurs then your dealer should be
contacted.
Transmission Oil Tank

The battery in your tractor is very similar to that found in your
car. To remove, simply undo the NEGATIVE terminal
connection, followed by the positive.
