Routine Maintenance
Engine Maintenance
Please refer to the engine manufacturer’s handbook
enclosed with this manual.
Battery Maintenance
(Fig. 30)
The battery fitted to your tractor is a low maintenance
unit. Should your battery require charging for any
reason the maximum charge rate is 1.5 amps. If your
tractor does not start refer to the troubleshooting
section in this manual (page 22).
Cutter Deck Maintenance
Removal of cutter deck
(Figs. 31, 32, 33 & 33a)
The Cutter Deck can be quickly removed for
servicing or cleaning, or to give greater clearance
when driving or towing over uneven ground.
First turn off the engine, then follow this sequence:
1. Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position (See
Controls – Page 6).
2. De-tension the Cutter Drive Belt with the lever
under the left running board (Fig. 31).
3. Remove the 3 securing pins from the front of the
deck (Figs. 32 A, B & C) by undoing the Rue
Clips (Figs. 33 & 33a) and removing them.
4. Remove the 2 securing pins from the back of the
deck (Fig. 32 – D and E).
5. Slip the cutter drive belt off the Engine Pulley.
6. Put steering onto full lock to ease deck out
7. Lift the linkage then slide the deck out
8. If you are going to use the tractor without the
deck, remove the Securing Bar* (Fig. 32 F).
9. Remove the fifth wheel – G.
To Clean The Cutter Deck
Remove the deck as instructed, stand it on its side
and hose off accumulated cuttings. DO NOT SPRAY
WATER DIRECTLY ONTO BEARING HOUSINGS. To
prevent a drop in performance it may be necessary
to routinely check for this grass build up, particularly
at the beginning of the season when the grass is lush
and wet. It is best to regularly check and clean the
Cutter Deck as often as possible, this can be done
by either removing the Deck or raising the tractor
safely on a ramp.

PLEASE NOTE:
It is not recommended to use the
tractor without a deck as this can make it unstable.
The battery in your tractor is very similar to that found in your car. To remove,
simply undo the NEGATIVE terminal connection, followed by the positive.
