Maintenance
Greasing
Grease front wheels and spindle top nipple every 25hrs. The spindle is fitted with a grease relief
valve (under the deck) so supply sufficient grease until the excess pushes out the valve.
Belts
Adjust belt tension as described under ‘Adjustments’ and replace belts when excessive wear or
damage begins to show. As belt lengths vary from different manufacturers, ensure replacement
belts are performing correctly when fitted.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level daily; see separate engine owner’s manual for details.
Replace engine oil at the intervals specified in the Engine Owner’s Manual.
The oil specification the units are filled with at the factory is Mineral Oil 10W30.

Options
Mulching Kit
Stevens make a mulch kit which is available for any 660MKIII. This blocks the discharge to
provide recycling of the clippings for a well maintained lawn mowed regularly.
This kit consists of a baffle and mulch blade. The baffle can be fitted with no tools required. The
blade requires the use of a 24mm socket to remove the blade bolt and refit. If desired, the mulch
blade can be left on for side discharge as well, but it does use more horsepower.
Mud Grip Rear Tyres
Optional mud-grip rear tyres can be fitted at the factory for no extra charge or purchased as an
option later.
They provide better grip in wet or slippery situations where the regular turf pattern may clog and
lose traction.
