Before Operating
DANGER
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while
filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while
the engine is running, hot, or when the machine is
in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store the fuel in a clean,
safety-approved container and keep the cap in
place. Use Diesel fuel for the engine only; not for
any other purpose.

CHECK THE TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The front axle housing acts as the reservoir for the

and daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units and stop the engine.
2. Remove the access panel behind the foot rest.
3. Unscrew the dipstick cap from the transmission
filler neck and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Screw the dipstick into the filler neck. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level. If the level
is not within 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) from the groove
in the dipstick, add enough oil to raise it to the
groove mark. DO NOT OVERFILL by more
