times), as air is purged from the unit, the oil level will

drop.

3. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
4. Close the transaxle’s bypass valves, start the engine,

release the parking brake, and slowly move the zero-turn

rider’s ground speed control levers in both forward and

reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is purged from the

unit, the oil level will drop.

5. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands from

underneath the machine.

6. Repeat the process detailed above but with the unit's

drive wheels on the ground. The procedure should be

performed in an area free of any objects or bystanders.

It may be necessary to repeat the process detailed above

until all the air is completely purged from the system. When

the transaxles/transmissions operate at normal noise levels

and move smoothly forward and reverse at normal speeds,

then the transaxles/transmissions are considered purged.

Checking Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained

at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that

these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"

stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown

provide proper traction and extend tire life. 

Lubrication

Lubricate the unit at the location shown in the following

figures as well as the lubrication points listed below.

Grease:

 

• front caster wheel axles & yokes
• deck lift pivot blocks
• mower deck spindles
• transmission cradle pivot points

Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply

grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Grease (p/n 5022285) is a

Calcium Sulfonate EP NLGI #2 grease that is recommended

and available through your normal parts source. Lithium

Complex EP-2 NLGI #2 grease may be used if 5022285 is not

available. Using a non-compatible grease could damage or

cause premature parts failures.

Oil:

 

• control handle pivots
• seat plate pivots
• deck lift pivots

• discharge chute hinge

Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where

contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off belts

and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and surfaces clean

both before and after lubrication.
