jelly.
6. Reinstall battery (See "REPLACING

TRANSAXLE MAINTENANCE
Keep transaxle free from build-up of dirt and
chaff which can restrict cooling.
Do not attempt to clean transaxte while
engine is running or while the transaxle is
hot, To prevent possible damage to seals,
do not use high pressure water or steam to
clean transaxle,
V-BELTS
Check V-belts fordeterioration andwear after
100 hours of operation and replace if neces-
sary. The belts are not adjustable. Replace
belts if they begin to slip from wear.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with
API service classification SG-SL. Select the
oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,
10W30 etc.) improve starting incold weather,
they will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°F/0°C, Check your
engine oil level morefrequentlyto avoid pos-
sible enginedamagefrom running Iowon o&
Changethe oil after every 50 hours of opera-
tion or at least once a year if the tractor is
not used for 50 hours in one year,
Checkthe crankcase oil level before starting
the engine and after each eight (8) hours
of operation.
Tighten oil fil! cap/dipstick
securely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Determine temperature
range expected
before oil change. All oil must meet API
service classification SG-SL,
1, Ensure tractor is on level surface,
2. Oil will drain more freely when warm.
3. Catch oil in a suitable container.
4. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful
notto allow dirt to enter the engine when
changing oil.
CAUTION: If engine has been operated for
an extended period of time immediately prior
to draining oil, oil will be hot,

of this
manual,
14.Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for
checking level. Ensure dipstick cap is
tightened securely for accurate reading.
Keep oil at"FULE' line on dipstick. Tighten
cap ontothe tubesecurely when finished.
