Tire Inflation
Keep the pneumatic tires properly
inflated. Over-inflation will cause
operator discomfort. Under-inflation
will cause short tire life.
Improperly inflated tires will also affect
the level of the mower deck and
quality of cut.
See the tire side wall for proper
inflation range.
Always ensure that the tire valve caps
are in place and tightened securely to
prevent loss of air and to protect the
valve core and stem.
Do not overload the tractor tires by
mounting equipment on the tractor
which exceeds the load capacity of the
size of the tires on the tractor.
Checking Transmission Oil Level
Figure 20
NOTE: Check the oil level only while
the engine is stopped and the tractor is
level.
Check the oil level of the transmission
case before each use to see that it is
filled to the correct level. Before
checking the transmission oil level,
clean the area around the Transmis-
sion Oil Fill/Dipstick to prevent debris
from entering the transmission case.
Always keep the oil level between the
“FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the
dipstick. When checking the oil level,
the dipstick must be withdrawn and
wiped clean, then reinserted all the
way before being withdrawn again for
a true reading.
Adding Transmission Oil
WARNING: Never overfill the
transmission case. Damage
may result if the oil level in
the transmission case is
below the “ADD” mark or
over the “FULL” mark of the
dipstick.
For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark
on the dipstick as opposed to adding a
given quantity of oil. Always check the
level on the dipstick before adding
more oil. See Figure 20.
Refer to the Lubrication Illustration for
information regarding the proper type
of oil to add to the transmission case.
See the Specifications Chart on page
35 for the quantity required.
• Place the tractor on a level surface
and engage the parking brake. Stop
the tractor engine and remove the
ignition key.
• Clean the area around the
Transmission Oil Fill /Dipstick to
prevent debris from entering the
transmission case.
• Remove the dipstick from the oil fill
tube and SLOWLY pour oil into the
oil fill tube. Fill the transmission
case until the oil level reaches the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick.
• Reinstall the dipstick securely into
the oil fill tube.
