MAINTENANCE
Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels turn
freely. Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
To replace, remove the nut and caster bolt. Pull
the wheel out of the yoke and take care with the
spacer. Install in reverse order. Tighten the caster
bolt and torque to 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm).
NOTE: Tire must turn freely but axle spacers
must not. If wheels do not turn freely take the unit
to the dealer for service.
Anti-scalp Rollers
Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height. Anti-scalp rollers
keep the deck in the correct position to prevent
scalping in most terrain conditions. Do not adjust
the rollers to support the deck. The rollers must
be approximately 6.5 mm from ground.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust anti-scalp
rollers with the mower on a flat level surface. To
avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers must
not be adjusted to support the deck.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Clean
the machine directly after use (after it is cooled),
before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of the
mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Clean the underside of the deck with normal
water pressure. Attach the quick connect (from
the accessory packet) to a garden hose. After
mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port and
turn on water supply.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the spinning action to wash away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Always wear eye
protection when cleaning and
washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Examine the machine for loose or
missing hardware.
