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.
Battery
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid levels cannot be checked.
•
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free of corrosive
build-up.
•
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light coat of petroleum jelly
or grease to both terminals.
•
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the positive terminal to prevent
shorting.
IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any reason, disconnect the NEGATIVE
(Black) wire from its terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When
re-installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal
first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Be certain that the wires are connected
to the correct terminals; reversing them could change the polarity and result in
damage to your engine's alternating system.
Cleaning Battery
Clean the battery by removing it from the tractor and washing with a baking soda
and water solution. If necessary, scrape the battery terminals with a wire brush to
remove deposits. Coat terminals and exposed wiring with grease or petroleum jelly
to prevent corrosion.
Battery Failures
Some common causes for battery failure are:
•
Incorrect initial activation
•
Overcharging
•
Freezing
•
Undercharging
•
Corroded connections
These failures are NOT covered by your tractor's warranty.
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 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.

Wash System™, follow these instructions to utilize this feature.
Use the Deck Wash System™ to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside and
