Cleaning Batteries And Terminals; Transaxle Cooling; Transaxle Pump Fluid; V-Belts - TRAPP 48L22AH0x8A Manual De Instrucciones

Note:
The original equipment battery on your tractor
is maintenance free. Do not attempt to open
or remove caps or covers. Adding or checking
level of electrolyte is not necessary.

Cleaning batteries and terminals

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals
can cause the battery to "leak" power.
1. Remove terminal guard.
2. Disconnect Black battery cable first then Red
battery cable and remove battery from tractor.
3. Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
4. Clean terminals and battery cable ends with
wire brush until bright.
5. Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly.
6. Reinstall battery (See "Battery connection"
in the Assembly section of this manual).

Transaxle cooling

The transmission fan and cooling fins should
be kept clean to assure proper cooling. Do not
attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine
is running or while the transmission is hot. To
prevent possible damage to seals, do not use high
pressure water or steam to clean transaxle.
Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are
 
intact and clean.
Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings
 
and other materials. To prevent damage to
seals, do not use compressed air or high
pressure sprayer to clean cooling fins.

Transaxle pump fluid

The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid
maintenance is not required for the life of the
transaxle. Should the transaxle ever leak or require
servicing, contact TRAPP nearest authorized
service shop.

V-belts

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after
100 hours of operation and replace if necessary.
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 SF-SJ. Select oil SAE viscosity
grade according to your expected operating
temperature.
Note:
Check your engine oil level frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running
low on oil. Change the oil after every 50 hours
of operation or at least once a year if the
tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting
the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation. Tighten oil fill cap/dipstick securely
each time you check the oil level.

Changing engine oil

Establish temperature range expected before
oil change. All oil must meet API service
classification SG-SL.
B e sure tractor is on level surface.
  
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
 
Catch oil in a suitable container.
 
1. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to
allow dirt to enter the engine when changing
oil.
2. Remove yellow cap from drain valve and
install the drain tube onto the fitting.
