Maintenance
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance or
repairs, disengage the PTO, move the drive control
levers fully outward in the neutral position, engage
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the
key to prevent unintended starting.
Engine
Refer to the Kohler Owner’s Manual for all engine maintenance
intervals, procedures, specifications and instructions.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The zero turn tractor is equipped with dual integrated
hydrostatic pumps/transaxles that are sealed and are
maintenance-free. Fluid levels cannot be checked and fluid
cannot be added or changed.
Tire Maintenance
Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of operation or
weekly. Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
Improper inflation will shorten the tire service life. See the tire
side wall for proper inflation pressures. Observe the following
guidelines:
Do not inflate a tire above the maximum pressure shown •
on the sidewall of the tire.
Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously
•
under inflated. Have a qualified tire mechanic inspect and
service the tire.
General Battery Information
WARNING!
Should battery acid accidentally splatter into •
the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.
If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean •
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger •
clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as
it can cause sparks.
Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, •
lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated
during charging can be combustible.
As a further precaution, only charge the battery in •
a well ventilated area.
Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing •
when working near batteries.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit •
explosive gases. Use extreme caution when
handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach
of children.
