5.0 MAINTAINING THE MOWER
Check Fluid Level in All Gearboxes Daily
- Check that the oil fluid level is between
the upper and lower sight glass (1) on the
gearbox.
- Allow the gearbox to sit idle for at
least 10 minutes to get an accurate
level reading.
- If oil is low, add oil through the plug (2) on
the top of the gear box.
- Use gear oil Grade 80W90 that
meets or exceeds API service
classification GL-4 and GL-5.
- Low oil level may be an indicator
that a seal is damaged and needs
to be replaced.
- Check that the gearbox vent (3) is in
place and the poppet valve freely snaps in
and out.
- Annually change the oil in all the
gearboxes. (See Gearbox Oil Changing
Procedures)
