UNIT ASSEMBLY
Package Contents:
Unit, Mower Deck and Literature Pack
Preparation Checklist
Refer to the Owner/Operator manual as
required.
1. Unpack Unit - Remove shrink wrap and
packaging materials.
2. Remove Unit From Container - Open
Bypass Valves (dump valves) (See
Moving the Unit with the Engine Off on
page 17).
Push unit from container onto a level
surface. Close the bypass valves.
3. Tires - See Specifications on page 36.
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.
4. Raise Rollover Protection Structure
(ROPS) Center Bar. See RollOver
Protection Structure (ROPS) on
page 12.
Check attachment components frequently. If
worn or damaged, replace with
manufacturer's recommended parts.
