1. Fuel filter
4. Tighten the plug after draining.
Note:
Because the accumulated water will be
mixed with diesel fuel, drain the fuel filter into a
suitable container and dispose of it properly.

Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are over-inflated at the factory for shipping
purposes. Reduce the pressure to the proper levels
before starting the unit.
Vary the tire pressure for the front wheels, depending
upon your turf conditions, from a minimum of 83 to a
maximum of 110 kPa (12 psi to 16 psi).
Vary the tire pressure for the rear wheel from a
minimum of 83 to a maximum of 110 kPa (12 psi to
16 psi).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 94.4-122 N-m (70-90
ft-lb) after 1-4 hours of operation and again
after 10 hours of operation. Torque every 200
hours thereafter.
Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut
had previously been acceptable. There must be light

contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife;
refer to Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting
Unit Operator's Manual.

Breaking-in the Machine

Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the
machine for oil change and maintenance procedures
recommended during the break-in period.
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the
break-in period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
g014720
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which
could lead to major problems, are noted and can be
corrected. Inspect the machine frequently during
break-in for signs of oil leakage, loose fasteners, or
any other malfunction.
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system,
burnish (break-in) the brakes before using the
machine. To burnish the brakes, firmly apply the
brakes and drive the machine at mowing speed
until the brakes are hot, as indicated by their smell.
An adjustment to the brakes may be required after
break-in; refer to Adjusting the Brakes.
Starting and Stopping the
Machine
Note:
Inspect the areas beneath the mowers to be
certain they are clear of debris.
Starting the Machine
Important:
Do not use ether or other types of
starting fluid.
1. Be sure the parking brake is set, the raise/lower
mow control is disengaged, and the functional
control is in the neutral position.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
make sure the pedal is in the neutral position.
3. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position.
4. Insert the key into the switch and rotate it to
On. Hold it in the On position until the glow
plug indicator light goes off (approximately 6
seconds).
5. Immediately turn the ignition key to the Start
position. Release the key when the engine
starts and allow it to move to the On position.
Move the throttle control to Slow.
Important:
