TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See
"SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may cause
tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat
tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be
purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire
sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM
Be sure the operator presence and interlock
systems are working properly. If your mower
does not function as described, repair the
problem immediately.
• The engine should not start unless the
parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is
disengaged (pressed down), the operator is
on the seat, and the control levers are
rotated to the outside of the mower.
• When the engine is running, any attempt by
the operator to leave the seat without first
setting the park brake should shut off the
engine.
• When the engine is running and the PTO
switch is engaged, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first
disengaging the PTO switch, should shut off
the engine.
• When the engine is running and the control
levers are rotated in, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without rotating the
control levers out, should shut off the engine.
• The PTO switch should never engage without
the operator on the seat.
