CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES IELTS ck V-Belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours replace if necessary. The belts are not adjustable. 'lace belts if they begin to slip from wear. ANSAXLE COOLING p transaxle free from build-up of dirt and chaff which restrict cooling. ANSAXLE PUMP FLUID LEVEL (See Figs. & 20) )ck fluid level after every 25 hours of use. Rear drawbar 3t be removed to check fluid level. Remove the (4) fasteners to remove the drawbar. Disconnect the tiller attachment interlock loop. Clean outside of reservoir thoroughly before removing cap. Check for proper fluid level in reservoir (should be above the "oil level cold" line). If oil is needed, remove cap on reservoir (with the clockwise rotation), remove bladder, and fill to "oil level cold" line with SAE 10W30 oil API-SG. Replace bladder and cap and tighten securely (do not overtighten). Reconnect tiller attachment interlock loop. Reassemble drawbar and tighten fasteners securely.

Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and every 50 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year. Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level. 17
