MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower. You will need to keep a record
of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one
job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter.
* See the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.
** Change original engine oil after first 5 hours of operation.
*** More often in hot (over 85° F: 30° C) weather or dusty operating conditions.
**** Tuff Torq K56 Models Only: Change transmission oil after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 250 hours.
Use SAE 10W-30 with a minimum API rating of CD.
***** Briggs & Stratton Models: Change oil & filter every 50 hours. Kohler Models: Change oil & filter every 100 hours.

Tire Pressure
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main-
tained at the levels shown in the chart at right. Note that
these pressures differ slightly from the “Max Inflation”
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures
shown in the chart provide proper traction, improved cut
quality, and extended tire life.
