of filler neck with No. 2 diesel fuel. Then install the cap.
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the
fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed
area. Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up
any spilled diesel fuel before starting the engine.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and
keep the cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the engine
only; not for any other purpose.
CHECK THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
DAILY
1. Look into the sight glass (Fig. 5). The oil level should be
even with the arrows when checking warm oil. The oil
will be 64-127 mm (1/4 to 1/2) inches below the arrows
when cold.
2. If the oil level is low, add hydraulic oil to the reservoir.
Refer to Hydraulic Oil Specifications.
CHECK THE REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE
CONTACT
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bedknife contact,
regardless of whether the quality of cut had previously been
acceptable. There must be light contact across the full length
of the reel and bedknife.
CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE DAILY
For normal mowing conditions and a variety of turf grasses,
use these tire pressures: 90 kPa (13 psi) front and 103 kPa (15
psi) rear. However, when the turf is either wetter or drier than
normal, you may need to change the tire pressure. On hard
turf, use high tire pressure 124kPa (18 psi) front and rear).
When turf is soft, use low pressure 62kPa front and 83 kPa
rear (9 psi front and 12 psi rear).
IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in the two front
tires and both rear tires to assure excellent quality of cut.
Do not exceed 16 kph (10 mph) transport speed (for
extended periods) when the tire pressure is 83kPa (12 psi)
or less because the tires may be damaged. Maximum
transport speed can be used when the front tire pressure is
higher than 90 kPa (13 psi).
