ing removal/installation, the following applies re-
garding connection of the cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery's negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery's
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery's positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery's negative ter-

6.9 LUBRICATION - CHASSIS
The machine has three grease nipples on the rear
axle which are lubricated with universal grease
every 25 hours of operation
(fig. 15).
Apply universal grease to all the plastic bearings a
couple of times per season.
Apply universal grease to the control arm joints a
couple of times each season (fig. 18).
Apply a coating of engine oil to the tension arm
joints a couple of times each season.
Apply a few drops of engine oil to both ends of the
throttle control cables a couple of times a season
(fig. 17).
HD:
The hydrostatic transmission is filled with oil
(10W-40) on delivery from the factory. Unless it is
opened (only to be performed by a specialist), and
provided no leakage occurs, no topping up with oil
should normally be carried out. Transmission oil
does not normally need to be changed.
6.10STEERING CABLE
The steering cables should be adjusted for the first
time after the machine has been in operation for 2
- 3 hours, and then after every 25 hours of
operation.
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the
nut (fig. 16). Important! The screws in the ends of
the cable should be held firmly during adjustment
so that the cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable
wrench or similar, grasp the key handle on the
screws in the ends of the cable.
Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard.
Otherwise the steering will be heavy and wear and
tear on the cables will increase.
