Tire Pressure

Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Never exceed the
maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is:
• Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
• Approximately 14 psi for the front tires
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's recommended
or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting
deck to mow unevenly.

WARNING
Gas & Oil Fill-up
Oil
IMPORTANT: Your tractor is shipped with motor oil in the engine. However, you
MUST check the oil level before operating. Be careful not to overfill.
Service and check the engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual. Read
the instructions carefully.
Gasoline
The gasoline tank is located under the hood. Do not overfill.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or
running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
NOTE : Purchase gasoline in small quantities. Do not use gasoline left over from the
previous season, to minimize gum deposits in the fuel system.
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. For best results, fill
the fuel tank with only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume) is an
approved fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol blends, such as E85, are not approved.
• Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a
maximum of 15% MTBE by volume) are approved fuels. Other gasoline/ether
blends are not approved.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow
engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
• If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to
another area. Wait five minutes before starting the engine.

To Add Gasoline

Refer to Figure 1 and proceed to your applicable model for your gas tank.
Hydrostatic Models
1. Turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least two minutes before
removing the fuel cap. The gasoline tank is located under the hood. Remove
