Check the tyre pressures (60 kPa/8,5 PSI).
Place a set of bathroom scales under the mower
deck's frame (front edge) so that the deck rests on
the scales.

Adjust the mowing deck's ground pressure with
the adjuster nuts placed behind the front wheels
on both sides of the ride-on mower. The ground
pressure should be between 12 and 15 kg/26.5-
