CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
The tires on your tractor were overinfl ated
at the factory for shipping purposes. Cor-
rect tire pressure is important for best
cutting performance.
• Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown in
"PRODUCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS" section
of this manual.
CHECK DECK LEVELNESS
For best cutting results, mower hous-
ing should be properly leveled. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual.
CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION
OF ALL BELTS
See the fi gures that are shown for replac-
ing motion and mower blade drive belts
in the Service and Adjustments sec tion
of this manual. Verify that the belts are
routed cor rect ly.
CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM
After you learn how to operate your trac-
tor, check to see that the brake is properly
adjusted. See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in
the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual.
