LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS ON ANY
PIECE OF EQUIPMENT UNLESS THE TRACTOR IS SHUT OFF AND DISCONNECTED
FROM THE MACHINE.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO WORK WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHEN MAINTAINING OR
SERVICING A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED AND HELP
CAN BE ATTAINED EASIER WHEN ANOTHER PERSON IS AVAILABLE TO HELP.
Gearbox Lubrication
The oil in the center gearbox should be drained out and replaced every year. When relling the
gearbox, remove the ll plug and ll up to the ll hole using 80W-90 gear oil. Check the oil level
periodically throughout the season to insure that it remains full at all times.
Be sure to properly dispose of any used oil or grease! Do not pour directly onto the ground!
