Installing the Spark Plug
1. Install the spark plug(s) and metal washer. Make sure
the air gap is set correctly.
2. Tighten the spark plug(s) to 20 ft-lb (27 NS
3. Push the wire(s) onto the spark plug(s) (Fig. 22).
Cleaning the Cooling Systems
Before each use, check and clean hydraulic and engine
cooling systems. Remove any build–up of grass, dirt or
other debris from the oil cooler screen and engine air
intake. Every 100 hours clean oil cooler, engine cylinder
and cylinder head cooling fins. Also clean around
carburetor, governor levers and linkage. This will help
insure adequate cooling to hydraulic pumps, motors and
engine and will reduce the possibility of overheating and
mechanical damage.
1. Remove oil cooler from the engine (Fig. 24). Save all
mounting hardware.
2. Blow out fins of oil cooler and area between fins and
screen with compressed air. If area between screen and
fins is tightly packed, remove oil cooler from screen.
Removing two retaining screws (Fig. 24). Save all
mounting hardware.
3. Clean off engine air intake (Fig. 24).
4. Install oil cooler onto engine with previously removed
hardware (Fig. 24).

Checking the Tire Pressure
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven cut.
Check the pressure at the valve stem after every
50 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs first
(Fig. 25). Check the tires when they are cold to get the most
accurate pressure reading.
Pressure: 12–14 psi (83–97 kPa) drive wheel.
