• To remove the bulb assembly from
the reflector, turn the socket coun-
terclockwise to align its locking tabs
with the notches in the reflector.
• Replace light bulb with like part.
• Align the tabs on the bulb assembly
and the notches in the reflector and
insert light bulb.
• Turn light bulb clockwise to lock in
place. Connect wire harness and
make sure that the locking tabs are
seated on the light bulb.
Tail Light Bulb Replacement
Each tail light assembly has two
lightbulbs. Access the back side of the
tail lights from under the rear fender.
NOTE: Because of the close proximity
of the fuel tank, caution should be
taken when removing the tail light
sockets from the reflector housings.
The bulbs can be pulled from the
sockets and dropped into the reflector
housing, requiring removal of the
reflector housing to retrieve the bulb.
To replace a light bulb:
• Turn the light socket counterclock-
wise to align the socket tabs with
the notches in the tail light reflector.
• Once aligned, carefully pull light
socket out of the tail light reflector.
• Pull the light bulb from the socket
and replace with like part.
• Align the tabs of the socket with the
notches in the reflector and carefully
insert the socket. Turn the socket
fully clockwise to lock in place.
Tire Inflation
Keep the tires inflated to the
recommended pressure. Improper
inflation will affect tire life and operator
comfort, and also could affect the level
of the mower deck and quality of cut.
See the tire side wall for proper
inflation range.
Ensure that the valve caps are
securely tightened in place to prevent
air loss and to protect the valve core.
Do not overload the tractor tires by
mounting equipment on the tractor
which exceeds the load capacity of the
size of the tires on the tractor.
Checking Transmission Oil Level
Figure 19
NOTE: Check the oil level only while
the engine is stopped and the tractor is
level.
Check the oil level of the transmission
case before each use to see that it is
filled to the correct level. Before
checking the transmission oil level,
clean the area around the Transmis-
sion Oil Fill/Dipstick to prevent debris
from entering the transmission case.
Always keep the oil level between the
“FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the
dipstick. When checking the oil level,
the dipstick must be withdrawn and
wiped clean, then reinserted all the
way before being withdrawn again for
a true reading.
