Important Information

This manual covers the operation and maintenance of COX 928 Series 2 (1978-1981) and 928 Series 2/K1 (1981-1983) compact tractors. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure all periodical checks, adjustments, and services are carried out. Always use genuine COX factory spare parts to maintain warranty and performance.

Operating Instructions

Before Starting: Ensure the mower attachment is disengaged before starting the engine. For machines fitted with Micro Switches, place your heel on the micro switch located on the rear of the footrest to engage the starter.

Driving: Power is regulated by the throttle. Use the clutch pedal to control forward and reverse movement. Press the forward section of the clutch pedal for forward movement and the rear section for reverse.

Braking: When the engine is running, use the clutch pedal to stop the machine. If travelling forward, push the pedal into reverse until the machine stops, then bring it to the neutral position. The parking brake should only be used when the engine is stopped.

Cutting Height Adjustment: The height adjustment lever is located on the left-hand side of the machine and can be adjusted while the machine is in motion.

Maintenance Instructions

General Maintenance: Stop the engine and remove the spark plug lead before attempting any form of service or adjustment. Ensure the blades have stopped rotating.

• Oil Changing: Carry out as per engine manufacturer recommendations.
• Lubrication: Perform every 25 hours of operation. Oil steering, linkages, steering column shaft, height adjustment mechanism, and pivot bolts. Use grease nipples on front axle kingpin bushes with Ampol MP red grease.
• Blade Maintenance: Check blades with the engine stopped. Lift the machine and rest on a block. Remove the windrower and set the height adjustment to the highest position to access the blades.
• Belt Adjustment: Loosen the four engine mounting bolts and move the engine to correct belt tension.
• Tyre Pressures: Maintain approximately 15 PSI for both front and rear tyres.
