Fuse
One 15 AMP fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to protect the tractor's
electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor's engine will not crank;
first check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It can be found under the
fender on the left side of the unit, on the wiring harness just above the battery.
WARNING
Always use a fuse with the same amperage capacity for replacement.
Lubrication
WARNING
Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage PTO (Blade
Engage Lever), move shift lever into neutral position, set parking brake, stop
engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
Pivot Points & Linkage
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake and lift linkage at
least once a season with light oil.
Rear Wheels
The rear wheels should be removed from the axles once a season. Lubricate the
axles and the rims well with an all-purpose grease before re-installing them.
Front Axles
Each end of the tractor's front pivot bar may be equipped with a grease fitting.
Lubricate with a grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor operation.
Steering Rack & Pinion
Once per season, or every 25 hours of operation, it will be necessary to lubricate the
steering rack and pinion gear located under the front of the unit. Using standard
automotive grease, apply grease to the front side and rear side of the steering rack,
as indicated in Figure 43.
Cleaning the Engine And Deck
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly. Do NOT allow
debris to accumulate around the engine cooling fins of the engine or on any other
part of the machine.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine.

Deck Wash System
Your tractor's deck is equipped with a water port on its surface as part of its deck
wash system.
Use the deck wash to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside and prevent
the buildup of corrosive chemicals. Complete the following steps AFTER EACH
MOWING:
1.
Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near enough for your
garden hose to reach.
Make certain the tractor's discharge chute is directed AWAY from your house,
garage, parked cars, etc.
2.
Disengage the PTO (Blade Engage), set the parking brake and stop the
engine.
3.
Thread the hose coupler (packaged with your tractor's Operator's Manual)
onto the end of your garden hose.
4.
Attach the hose coupler to the water port on your deck's surface. See Figure 44.
5.
Turn the water on.
6.
While sitting in the operator's position on the tractor, start the engine and
place the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position.
7.
Move the tractor's PTO (Blade Engage) into the ON position.
8.
Remain in the operator's position with the cutting deck engaged for a
minimum of two minutes, allowing the underside of the cutting deck to
thoroughly rinse.
9.
Move the tractor's PTO (Blade Engage) into the OFF position.
10.
Turn the ignition key to the STOP position to turn the tractor's engine off.
11.
Turn the water off and detach the hose coupler from the water port on your
deck's surface.
After cleaning your deck, return to the operator's position and engage the PTO. Keep
the cutting deck running for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the underside of
