parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
4. Check and adjust the side-to-side blade level
if you have not checked the setting; refer to

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Every 25 hours
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires at 97 kPa
(14 psi). Check the pressure at the valve stem (Figure 44) after
every 25 operating hours or yearly, whichever occurs first.
Check the tires when they are cold, to get the most accurate
pressure reading.
