Service Miscellaneous

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:

· Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

· Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

· When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.

· Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

1. Check tires for damage.

2. Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.

3. Add air, if necessary:

Correct tire pressure is between 69-83 kPa (10-12 psi)
(0.7-0.8 bar).

Refueling Machine

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable:

· DO NOT refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine is running. STOP engine.

· Fill fuel tank outdoors.

· Prevent fires: clean oil, grease and dirt from machine. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

· Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

· To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge, while you fill tank, use a non-metal fuel container. If you use a funnel, MAKE SURE it is PLASTIC. Avoid using a funnel which has a metal screen or filter.

· Use only clean oil and fuel and clean approved containers and funnels.

· Store oil and fuel in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contamination.

Fuel Specifications

· Use Grade No. 2-D fuel at temperatures above 4°C (40°F).

· Use Grade No. 1-D fuel at temperatures below 4°C (40°F).

· Use Grade No. 1-D fuel for all air temperatures at altitudes above 1500 m (5000 ft.).

· For maximum filter life, sediment and water should not be more than 0.10 per cent.

· The cetane number should be 40 minimum. If you operate your tractor where air temperatures are normally low or where altitudes are high, you may need fuel with a higher cetane number.

· Cloud Point - For cold weather operation, cloud point should be 6°C (10°F) below lowest normal air temperature.

· In winter use special winter fuel or add an anti-gelling compound to fuel to maintain its proper viscosity.

Diesel Fuel Storage


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Diesel fuels stored for a long time may form gum and plug filters. Diesel fuel stored in galvanized containers reacts with zinc coating on container to form zinc flakes. If fuel contains water, a zinc gel will form. Gel and flakes will quickly plug fuel filters and damage fuel injectors and pumps.

DO NOT use a galvanized container to store diesel fuel.

Store fuel in:

· Plastic containers.

· Aluminum containers.

· Specially coated steel containers made for diesel fuel.

DO NOT use brass-coated containers, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

Before Filling Fuel Tank

· Remove any trash from top of fuel tank drain areas.

· Fill both fuel tanks at the end of each day's operation to prevent condensation and freezing during cold weather.

· Fuel tank capacity: 18.9 L (5 gal) per tank, 37.9 L (10 gal) total.

Filling Fuel Tank

1. STOP engine. If engine is hot let it cool several minutes before you add fuel.

E33788

2. Remove fuel tank cap (A) slowly to allow any pressure built up in tank to escape.

3. Fill tank only to maximum fill line (B).

4. Install fuel tank cap.

Adjusting Parking Brake

1. Park greensmower on level surface.

M73957

2. Remove cotter pin (A).

3. Adjust rod (B) to minimum length to remove looseness and still be able to replace rod in lever and install cotter pin.

4. Repeat on opposite side.

E33708

5. When properly adjusted, each wheel hub should hold 250 N·m (185 ft.lb.) of torque with the brake set.

6. Remove pin (C) and lengthen the main brake rod (D) as needed to increase the brake holding torque.

7. Install cotter pin (C).

NOTE: Initial setting is approximately 51 mm (2 in.) of thread below connector.

E33961

8. Adjust parking brake lock so latch (E) engages pedal (F).

9. Turn lock nut (G) to adjust.

NOTE: Initial setting is 7 mm (1/4 in.) of thread below lock nut.

Tightening Wheel Bolts

NOTE: Tighten bolts after first 10 hours of operation
and every 50 hours thereafter.

E33695

Tighten wheel bolts to 81-95 N·m (60-70 lb-ft).

Raising Hood

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Hood is heavy. Handle weight safely. Carefully raise and lower the hood to avoid pinching hands.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do Not move the machine with the hood raised.

1. Stop the engine. Lock the parking brake.

M73905

M73906

2. Raise top of hood by pushing down on back of hood and lifting front center of hood. If this procedure is not followed the hood may fall off the hood bracket.

Raising Seat

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To help prevent injury:

Carefully raise and lower the seat to avoid pinching fingers.

To raise the seat:

M73932

· Lift seat (A) all the way up.

M73933

· Be sure push nut (B) is seated in notch (C).

To lower the seat:

· Push up on seat.

· Pull the support rod (D) out of notch (C).

· Let push nut slide in slot as you lower the seat.
