Engine oil & filter
If the engine has been running and is up to operating tem-
perature, allow the engine to cool before changing the oil.
Engine and engine oil will be very hot, so be very careful
when changing oil and wear the appropriate protective
gear to avoid being burned or exposed to engine oil.
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of operation.
Machine must be setting level when checking oil. Refer to
engine manual and maintenance schedule for oil
recommendation and capacities.
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and per the engine manufacturer’s recommendations
after that. If mower is being operated in extremely dirty
conditions, then it is recommended oil be changed more
frequently.
IMPORTANT:
When removing the oil filter take
precautions to minimize oil spillage on the exhaust system.
Draining the engine oil:
1. Locate the oil drain valve on the engine. Figure 4-5,
2. Position a suitable oil drain container under the machine
below the oil drain valve.
3. Twist the valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
Allow 10 minutes for engine oil to adequately drain.
4. After oil is drained, close the valve by twisting it
clockwise.
5. Once the valve is closed, clean up any spilled oil.
IMPORTANT:
All oil drips or spills must be cleaned off
of the exhaust system before operating the machine.

Belts
Inspect belts frequently for wear and serviceability. Replace a
belt that shows signs of severe cuts, tears, separation, weather
checking and cracking, or burns caused by slipping. Slight
raveling of belt covering does not indicate failure, trim ravelings
with a sharp knife.
If the pump belt fails, loss of control will occur especially
when operating on a slope.
If you lose steering control
while operating the machine, place the steering con-
trol levers in the park brake position immediately.
Inspect the machine and involve your BigDog
® Mow-
ers dealer to resolve the problem before continuing to
operate.
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new
belt, or one in good condition, should never run against the
