Maintenance Introduction
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for downtime or
premature failure. The following pages contain suggested main-
tenance information and schedules which the operator/mechanic
should follow on a routine basis.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a
problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or
damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while per-
forming scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem
as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially
in the engine compartment and under the seat platform areas;
minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and
hydraulic assemblies.
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string
tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-up
of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has
high moisture content. This build-up will harden, restricting
blade and air movement and will probably show a lesser quality
of cut. Therefore it should be removed routinely.
To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck,
using jack stands or blocks, in the full up position and scrape the
build-up from underneath.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel.
