SUPPORTING MACHINE FOR SERVICE

You may be required to lift the mower off of the ground for servicing the
transport tires / wheels / bearings. Use a bottle or service jack to raise the
wheel from the ground and place a wooden block or other suitable support
under the rectangular tube.
Jack up the frame in the location shown in Figure 17
Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles or other
members that may fail under continuous load.
Never perform service on a machine that is supported solely by a
jack. Always ensure proper blocking is placed to support load during
service.
Transport tires must be changed with the wing decks on the ground.

TRANSPORT TIRES

accurate pressure gauge. Do
NOTE THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT HIGHWAY RATED

should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools,
equipment, and procedures.
