Maintenance Instructions<br />

LUBRICATION<br />

2. Check the oil level in the belt drive gearbox every<br />

100 hours (or sooner if a visible oil leak has<br />

developed). With the deck in the normal operating<br />

position, remove the level plug in the side<br />

of the gearcase. Add SAE E.P. (Extreme Pressure)<br />

90W oil to maintain the oil level to the<br />

plug. If the oil level is low, check the gearbox for<br />

any indication of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noted,<br />

the gearbox will need to be removed and rebuilt.<br />

3. Lubricate the dolly wheel pivot every 25 hours<br />

with general purpose grease.<br />

4. Lubricate the U-Joint in the drive shaft every<br />

8 hours with SAE general purpose lithium or<br />

molybdenum base grease.<br />

Check the gearbox oil level every 25 hours, and if<br />

necessary, add oil [SAE E.P. (Extreme Pressure)<br />

90W gear lube] to maintain oil level to the FULL<br />

mark on the dipstick.<br />

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the PTO gearbox to<br />

avoid oil leakage out of the dipstick standpipe.<br />

If the oil level is low, check the gearbox for any indication<br />

of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noted, the gearbox<br />

will need to be removed and rebuilt.<br />

Dipstick Location, Tractor PTO Gearbox<br />

Changing Gearbox Oil<br />

The tractor PTO gearbox is oil filled and vented. No<br />

scheduled oil change is required. However, changing<br />

the oil after the first 100 hour break-in period<br />

will extend gearbox life and is recommended.<br />

1. Remove the drain plug in the bottom of the<br />

gearcase, drain the oil, and reinstall the plug.<br />

2. Refill the gearbox through the dipstick standpipe<br />

using 7 to 8 fl. oz. (21 to 24 cl) of SAE E.P.<br />

(Extreme Pressure) 90W gear lube.<br />

3. Check that the oil level is at the FULL mark on<br />

the dipstick. DO NOT overfill.<br />

Gear Axle Lubrication<br />

• The gear axle oil lubrication is SAE 80W-90 (API<br />

GL-5) gear lube.<br />

• Check the axle oil level after every 100 hours of<br />

operation by removing the oil level plug. If additional<br />

oil is needed, remove the breather vent on top of axle<br />

and fill until oil is at the level plug.<br />

• Change axle oil every 1000 hours or two (2)<br />

years.<br />
