BEFORE YOU MOW
ASSEMBLY
This instruction book isfor several models. Some parts or accesso-
ries are not included on all models. Read and follow the assembly
and adjustment instructions for your mower. Do not discard any
parts or material until the unit is assembled.
A WARNING: Before doing any assembly or mainte-
nance to the mower, remove the wire from the spark
plug.
NOTE: In this Instruction book, left and right describe the loca-
tion of a part with the operator on the seat.
CHECK THE TIRES
Check the air pressure in the tires. "13res w ith too much air pressure
will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will
keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure
(PSI) is 14 PSI (1 BAR). The tires were over inflated for shipment.
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short
distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does
not cut level, see the instructions on "How To Level The Mower
Housing" in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
