Servicing the Mower Deck
Gear Box Lubricant
The gear box is designed to operate with SAE 80-90 gear
lube. Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant
from the factory, check the level before operating the
cutting unit for the first time and every 150 operating
hours thereafter. Change the lubricant in the gear box
every 400 operating hours.
