Important! Before You Start Mowing

• Check the engine oil.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
• Check the air pressure of the tires.
• Check the level of the mower hous ing.
• Attach the battery cables.
Check The Tires
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with 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 is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),
Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). 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.
