Checking the Lubricant in the
Gear Box of the Rear Axle
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
The gear box is filled with SAE 85W-140 gear lube. Check
the oil level before the engine is first started and every 400
hours thereafter. The capacity is 0.5 L (16 fl oz). Visually
inspect for leaks daily.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key.
2. Remove the check/fill plug from the left side of the
gear box (Figure 71) and make sure that lubricant is
up to the bottom of the hole. If the level is low, add
enough lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom
of the hole.

position the speed control into the low range, and
lower the cutting units.
2. Press only the right brake pedal and engage the parking
brake.
3. Jack up the left side of the machine until the left front
tire is off the shop floor. Support the machine with
jack stands to prevent it from falling accidentally.
4. Start the engine and allow it run at low idle.
5. Adjust the jam nuts on the pump rod end to move the
pump control tube forward to eliminate forward creep
or rearward to eliminate rearward creep
