MANUAL CONTENT
This manual is intended primarily for use by dealer ser-
vice personnel as a technical reference manual or as a
complement to normal service training.
While the information in this manual has been developed
to permit mechanics and service technicians to perform
most service procedures quickly and effectively, it is
assumed that those using this manual will have some
outdoor power equipment service experience or other
basic power equipment service training with similar types
of products.
In addition, it is assumed that all those performing ser-
vice on these units are familiar with the general princi-
ples of operation of these units, and understand all oper-
ating controls, safety instructions, and normal handling
precautions for servicing large tractors and mowers.
Engine information is available from the appropriate
engine manufacturer in a separate service manual.
General engine information and basic engine trou-
bleshooting information is provided, but is intended for
general guidance only. The engine manufacturer’s man-
ual should always be consulted first before making any
major adjustments, part changes, or other major repairs.
This manual includes all relevant service information for
model years 1995 through 1998, and whenever neces-
sary, includes inset illustrations or other references to
help identify previous part designs and alternative ser-
vice procedures.
The service techniques in this manual also assume that
the person providing service has access to a standard
assortment of mechanic’s hand tools, and approaches
most disassembly and repair procedures with availability
of these basic tools in mind. Whenever specialized or
custom tools are available to save time, reduce effort, or
improve overall service efficiency, the most effective safe
repair method available should be utilized.
Since part numbers are subject to change and may vary
by model year and manufacturing number, all parts in
this manual are referred to by general description.
Specific part number information may be found in the
respective Parts Manual for the unit being serviced.
Always use the manufacturing number that appears on
the Identification Tag of the unit you are servicing to
identify component part numbers.
