See Specifications on page 31 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.
CAUTION: Check for worn or damaged mower blades.
Perform scheduled engine
maintenance. Refer to Engine
Manual for detailed instructions.
NOTICE: To drain the oil, use the oil
drain hose (1) supplied with unit, not
the drain plug that is shown in the
Engine Manual.
Keep battery and battery terminals clean (see Cleaning Battery and
Battery Cables on page 23).
Apply grease to zerk (1) on each
front wheel
