General Engine Maintenance
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in
and regular maintenance are specified in the engine
operator’s manual. Please refer to this manual for engine
servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity
recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine
warranty is backed by the engine manufacturer.
Special attention should be paid to applicable data which
is not duplicated here.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Refer to Figure 5-17 on page 40:
See “ZXT Pro (Engine Specifications)” on page 49 for oil
type and engine capacity.
Check engine oil daily and after every 4 hours of
operation. Crankcase dipstick and engine oil fill tube are
located at the rear of the machine. Mower must be sitting
level when checking oil. Refer to engine manual and
maintenance schedule for oil recommendation and
capacities.
Change engine oil and oil filter after the first 5 hours of
operation and per engine manufacturer’s
recommendations thereafter. It is recommended that oil
be changed more frequently if the mower is operated in
extremely dirty conditions.
The oil fill cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and oil filter are
located on the right hand side for Honda and Kawasaki
engines. Oil fill cap/dip stick and oil drain plug are located
on the left hand side for the Briggs & Stratton engine and
the oil filter is on the right hand side.
Drain oil into a drip pan by unscrewing the oil drain plug
until oil flows freely. Do not remove drain plug. Drain plug
will offer resistance once it is fully unscrewed.
Oil Check, Honda & Kawasaki Engines
1.
Park on a level surface, shut engine off and allow
time for oil to cool and drain into the sump.
2.
Clean area around oil fill cap of dirt and debris before
removing it. Unscrew cap and wipe dipstick clean.
3.
Insert dipstick fully in without screwing it in and
removing again to check oil level.
4.
If oil level on the dipstick is near or below the lower
limit mark, then add recommended oil until it reaches
the full mark. Do not overfill.
5.
Reinstall oil fill cap/dipstick by screwing it in firmly.
Oil Check, Briggs & Stratton Engine
1.
Park on a level surface, shut engine off and allow
time for oil to cool and drain into the sump.
2.
Clean area around oil fill cap/dipstick of dirt and
debris before removing it. Unscrew oil fill cap and
wipe dipstick clean.
IMPORTANT: Make certain engine is level and you
are inserting the dipstick correctly when checking
oil. An oil overfill can cause engine problems.
