COOLING SYSTEM
Remove and clean radiator screen regularly. A
dirty screen will cause the engine to overheat.
Do not use high pressure water or steam to
clean the engine or drive compartment.
Water and cleaning detergent may
damage electrical components and
terminals, possibly leading to component
and safety circuit failure.
Use a vacuum cleaner or air blower to remove
foreign material from the engine and drive com-
partment.
Check engine coolant when the engine is cool. If
coolant is required, fill expansion tank to proper
level through radiator. A solution of 50% anti-
freeze and 50% water must be used (freezing
point about –34° F [–36° C]). Do not use 100%
antifreeze or severe damage will occur.
Always wear safety glasses and ear
protection when performing any
maintenance function that could
cause injury to eyes or ears.
Read all safety information on pages 6 through 13.
Lower attachment to ground, shut off
tractor engine, remove key and wires
to fuel solenoid before performing any
maintenance.
LUBRICATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in
operating hours based on normal operating con-
ditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require
more frequent lubrication.
Use an SAE multipurpose type grease for all lo-
cations shown. Be sure to clean fitting thoroughly
before using grease gun.
For Drive System, use Grasshopper Fluid, part no.
345050 for 1 quart (.94 l) container or part no.
345055 for 1 gallon (3.76 l) container.
