Tires; Power Take Off - Progressive TD65-2 Operator's Manual And Parts List

TIRES

Upon receiving your mower, check air pressure in the tires and adjust according to
specifications.
MOWER DECK TIRES
MAIN FRAME TIRES
Never inflate tires beyond 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) to seat beads. Inflation beyond
35 PSI pressure before seating the bead may break the bead or even the rim with an
explosive force. If beads have not seated by the time the pressure has reached 35 PSI,
deflate the assembly, move tire to another position on the rim and re-lubricate. Inflate tire
and inspect both sides of the tires to be sure beads are seated properly. If not, deflate tire,
unseat beads and repeat the above mounting procedure. After properly seating beads
adjust to pressure recommended.
POWER TAKE-OFF:
Keep all safety shields in place.
When operating the power take-off, be sure the tractor shield is always in place, covering
the exposed power take-off shaft.
Before dismounting from the tractor, stop the power take-off, put tractor in neutral, set
brakes in lock position and shut off engine.
When ready to engage PTO shaft, be sure engine RPM is at idle speed. Engaging PTO at
full throttle will cause high shock loads to driveline, with the potential for future failure.
Do not exceed the recommended PTO speed of 540 RPM.
