Storing the Mower
•
Allow the machine to cool in an open
area before storing.
•
Do not park the mower near any
flammable materials (wood, cloth
or chemicals) or any open flames or
other potential source of ignition
(furnace, water heater or any other type
of heater).
•
Remove all combustible materials from
the mower before storing. Empty cargo
boxes, grass catchers or containers.
•
Always shut off fuel flow when storing
or transporting if mower is equipped
with a fuel shutoff.
•
Check the fuel system (lines, tank, cap
and fittings) frequently for cracks or
leaks. Repair and clean as necessary.
Calibration
The SurePath Auto Steer system will need to
be calibrated in the following circumstances:
•
Major front end maintenance or
replacement occurs.
•
GPM or complete steering column
is replaced.
Please contact an authorized service
dealer for more information regarding
system calibration.
Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for all
engine maintenance intervals, procedures,
specifications and instructions.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING
If the engine has been recently run, the engine, muffler,
and surrounding metal surfaces will be hot and can
cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Maintain oil level as instructed in Engine
Operator's Manual. Be careful not to spill oil
on any of the belts.
To complete an oil change, proceed
as follows:
1.
Run the engine for a short time to
warm the engine oil. The oil will flow
more freely and carry away more
impurities. Use care to avoid burns
from hot oil.
2.
Locate the oil drain hose on the engine.
See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4
3.
Remove the hose from the clip securing
it to the frame.
4.
Route the free end of the oil drain hose
toward an appropriate oil collection
container with at least a 2.5 quart
capacity, to collect the used oil.
NOTE: Avoid getting oil on the muffler
when draining.
5.
While holding the free end of the
oil drain hose over the oil collection
container, unscrew the square-head
hose plug from the end of the hose.
See Figure 4-4. Drain the engine oil into
the collection container.
6.
Remove the oil filter to make sure all
the oil is drained.
7.
After draining the oil, wipe any residual
oil from the oil drain hose. Thread the
square head plug into the drain hose
fitting and fully tighten the plug.
8.
Replace the oil filter and refill the
engine with new oil as instructed in
the Engine Operator's Manual. Refer
to the Engine Operator's Manual for
information regarding the volume and
weight of engine oil.
9.
Place the hose back into the clip
securing it to the frame.
Lubrication
Periodically lubricate all pivot points with a
quality lubricating oil.
Tires
Check the tire air pressure after every 50
hours of operation or weekly. Keep the tires
inflated to the recommended pressures.
Improper inflation will shorten the tire
service life and produce an uneven cut.
See the tire side wall for proper inflation
pressures. Observe the following guidelines:
•
Do not inflate a tire above the
maximum pressure shown on the
sidewall of the tire.
•
Do not reinflate a tire that has been run
flat or seriously under-inflated. Have it
inspected and serviced by a qualified
tire mechanic.
Battery Information
WARNING
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or
onto the skin, rinse the affected area immediately with
clean cold water. If there is any further discomfort, seek
prompt medical attention.
If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water,
then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/water or
baking soda/water.
NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips
to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can
cause sparks.
Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches,
lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated
during charging can be combustible.
As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well
ventilated area.
Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when
working near batteries.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive
gases. Use extreme caution when handling batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Battery Maintenance
•
The battery is filled with battery
acid and then sealed at the factory.
However, even a "maintenance free"
battery requires some maintenance to
ensure its proper life cycle.
•
Spray the terminals and exposed
wire with a battery terminal sealer, or
coat the terminals with a thin coat of
grease or petroleum jelly, to protect
against corrosion.
•
Always keep the battery cables and
terminals clean and free of corrosion.
•
Some models are equipped with a
battery containing a liquid electrolyte.
Handle the battery with care and avoid
tipping to prevent leakage.
WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive
gases. Use extreme caution when handling batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Battery Storage
1.
When storing the mower for extended
periods, disconnect the negative
battery cable. It is not necessary to
remove the battery.
2.
All batteries discharge during storage.
Keep the exterior of the battery clean,
especially the top. A dirty battery will
discharge more rapidly.
3.
The battery must be stored with a full
charge. A discharged battery can freeze
sooner than a charged battery. A fully
charged battery will store longer in
cold temperatures than hot.
4.
Recharge the battery before returning
to service. Although the mower may
start, the engine charging system may
not fully recharge the battery.
