Maintenance
Checking the T ire Pressure
Service Interval : Before each use or daily
V ary the tire pressure for all 3 wheels, depending
upon your turf conditions, from a minimum of 83 to a
maximum of 1 10 kPa (12 psi to 16 psi).
Important: Ensure that the tire pressure for each
wheel is identical. If the tire pressure for each
wheel is different, the performance of the machine
is affected.
Checking the T orque of the
Wheel Nuts
Service Interval : After the rst 8 hours
Every 200 hours
W ARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury .
T orque the wheel nuts to the specied torque
at the specied intervals.
Wheel-nut torque specication: 108 to 122 N∙m
(80 to 90 ft-lb)
T o ensure even distribution, torque the wheel nuts in
the pattern shown in Figure 47 .

Fluid
Service Interval : After the rst 8 hours
Every 800 hours
Fluid specication: SAE 80W90
Gearbox oil capacity: approximately 384 ml (13 oz)
1. Raise the machine; refer to Raising the Machine
( page 41 ) .
Important: The machine must be level so
that the correct amount of uid can be added
to the gearbox.
Ensure that the machine is level on the jack
stands.
2. Perform the following steps to remove the left
