Maintenance Introduction
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly down-
time or expensive, premature repair. The following pages con-
tain suggested maintenance information and schedules which
the operator/mechanic should follow on a routine basis.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a
problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or
damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while per-
forming scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem
as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially
in the engine and under the seat platform areas; minute dust par-
ticles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic
assemblies.
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string
tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-up
of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has
high moisture content. This build-up will harden, restricting
blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality
of cutting. Therefore it should be removed routinely.
To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck,
using jack stands or blocks, in the full up position and scrape the
build-up from underneath.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel.
