Fill Crankcase with Oil
IMPORTANT: The tractor is shipped from
the factory without oil in the engine crankcase
Refer to the Operator’s Manual, Engine Oil
Specifications for oil type, viscosity, and crankcase
capacity. Only add about 80% of the specified amount
of oil. Then check the oil level and add only enough
oil to raise the level to the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick.
Note: When checking oil, slide the dipstick
fully into the filler tube, do not thread
onto fill tube.
Lubricate the Tractor
Refer to the Operator’s Manual, Greasing and
Lubrication.
If equipped with Power Lift, check reservoir level. If
necessary, fill to bottom of filler opening with Dexron
Type II
Check Safety System
Refer to the Operator’s Manual, Checking Safety
System.
Electric Clutch Break-In
The electric clutch requires initial break-in to seat the
mating surfaces. Engage/disengage the clutch 10-20
cycles with the mower installed. Rotating the blades
provides load for break-in.

all must be adjusted the same (Fig. 3).
1. Insert a 0.010 inch (.25 mm) feeler gauge into
the slot (Fig. 3).
