any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire

pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping

purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating

the tractor. Recommended operating tire pressure is

approximately 10 p.s.i for the rear tires & 14 p.s.i. for

the front tires. Check sidewall of tire for maximum p.s.i.

set the parking brake and remove the ignition

key before removing the shipping brace

tag found on the right side of the cutting deck.

hand, remove the shipping brace with your right

hand by grasping it between your thumb and index

finger and rotating it clockwise.

WARNING: The shipping brace, used for

packaging purposes only, must be removed

and discarded before operating your tractor.

The mowing deck is capable of throwing

objects. Failure to operate the tractor without

position could result in serious personal injury

and/or property damage.

Gas and Oil Fill-up

The gasoline tank is located under the hood and has a

capacity of three gallons. Unthread the fuel cap by

turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh

(under 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no

more than four inches below the top of the filler neck to

allow space for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.

handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely

flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Never fuel machine indoors or while the

engine is hot or running. Extinguish

cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of

ignition.

IMPORTANT:

Your tractor is shipped with oil in the

engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before

operating. Refer to the engine manual for detailed
