10. Repeat the procedure for all cutting units you
want to backlap.
11. When finished, return the backlap levers to the
M position, lower the seat, and wash all
OW
lapping compound off the cutting units.
Note:
Adjust the cutting-unit reel to bedknife as
needed. Adjust the cutting-unit reel speed to the
desired mowing setting.
Important:
If the backlap switch is
not returned to the O
backlapping, the cutting units do not raise
or function properly.
Note:
For a better cutting edge, run a file across
the front face of the bedknife after lapping. This
removes any burrs or rough edges that may
have built up on the cutting edge.

Preparing the Traction Unit

1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting units,
and engine.
2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all traction unit
tires to 83 to 103 kPa (12 to 15 psi).
3. Check all fasteners for looseness and tighten
them as necessary.
4. Grease all grease fittings and pivot points. Wipe
up any excess lubricant.
5. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted
areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted.
Repair any dents in the metal body.

7. Check antifreeze protection and add a 50/50
solution of water and antifreeze as needed for
expected minimum temperature in your area.
8. Secure all fuel-system fittings.
9. Thoroughly clean and service the air-cleaner
assembly.
10. Seal the air-cleaner inlet and the exhaust outlet
