Tire Pressure
WARNING! 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.
Gas and Oil Fill-up
The gasoline tank is located on the engine. Do not overfill.
IMPORTANT: It is important to NOT top off your fuel tank when
filling with fuel. Leave an expansion area available inside the fuel
tank to allow for the fuel to expand and for proper ventilation.
Otherwise the unit may not run properly.
WARNING! 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.
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 separate
Engine Owner’s Manual packed with your tractor. Read the
instructions carefully.
