amps).

 All tires are properly inflated. (For
shipping purposes, the tires were
overinflated at the factory).
 Be sure mower deck is properly
leveled side-to-side/front-to-rear for
best cutting results. (Tires must be
properly inflated for leveling).
 Check mower and drive belts. Be sure
they are routed properly around
pulleys and inside all belt keepers.
 Check wiring. See that all connections

clamped.
 Before driving tractor, be sure free-
wheel control is in drive position.
While learning how to use your tractor,
pay extra attention to the following
