MAINTENANCE
GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The Gearbox was filled with oil at the factory. However, it is necessary that the operator check the Geabox
before operations. The oil should be to the level of the notch on the dipstick. The Filler/Breather Plug is on the
top of the Gearbox. Fill through this plug using Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250. The oil level after
operating long enough for warmed oil to flow through the Bearings into the lower Gearbox cavity. Refill to the
test plug level. Check the oil again before operation, after every 40 hours of mowing, and at the beginning and
end of each mowing season. The gearbox capacity is 3 quarts.
NOTE: Overfilling the Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Oil Seals to leak.
ATTENTION: If the Gearbox suddenly starts making an unusual noise, stop at once, check for leaks, and refill
Geabox as required.
HYDRAULIC LINES, COUPLERS, & ADAPTERS
