WARNING: Safety interlock system failure
and improper operation of unit can result in

Check hydraulic oil level mark on the expansion tank.
Add 20W50 engine oil as needed. Do not overfill. See
Check Hydraulic Fluid Level on page 28.
See Specifications on page 46 for correct tire
pressure.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive
separation of tire and rim parts is possible
when they are serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the
proper equipment and experience to perform
the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly.
Heat can cause an increase in air pressure
resulting in an explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly
when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side.
Clean engine, battery, seat, mower deck, etc. of dirt
and debris. Do not use solvents, hard cleaners, or
abrasives.
NOTE: Protect painted surfaces with automotive type
wax.
IMPORTANT: Do not spray the unit with water,
especially when the unit is warm from operation.
Water can seep into bearings and damage them.
Perform scheduled engine maintenance. Refer to
engine manual for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the radiator, DO
NOT USE high-pressure water to clean the radiator.
Check cooling system for dirt and debris in radiator
screen, oil cooler, hoses, fan, etc. Refer to Engine
Manual for detailed instructions.
Check mower blades for wear. Sharpen or replace as
needed. See COOLING SYSTEM on page 29.
