CHECK REAR AXLE LUBRICANT
(Fig. 6)
(Model 30302 Only)
The rear axle reservoir uses Mobil 424 hydraulic fluid.
Although the axle is shipped with lubricant from the factory,
check the level before operating the machine.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove the check plug from the axle and make sure
lubricant is up to the bottom of the check hole. If the
level is low, add enough lubricant to bring the level up
to the bottom of the check hole (Fig. 6).
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE (Fig. 7)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce pressure. Correct air pressure in
the front and rear tires is 15 psi.
IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in all tires to assure a
good quality of cut and proper machine performance. DO
NOT UNDER INFLATE.

torque could result in failure or wheel loss, and may
result in personal injury.
