Normal Care
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower. You will need to keep a record
of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one
job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine with the hood raised.
Engine heat will cause damage to the headlight
bezel and hood.

Tire Pressure
Front
12 - 15 psi (82 - 103 kPa)
Rear
10 - 12 psi (56 - 82 kPa)
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main-
tained at the levels shown in the chart at right. Note that
these pressures differ slightly from the “Max Inflation”
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures
shown in the chart provide proper traction, improved cut
quality, and extended tire life.
RAISING THE HOOD & SEAT
1. To raise the hood, grasp the hood recess (Figure 9)
on top, then pivot the hood up and forward.
2. To raise the seat for battery access, tilt the seat for-
ward.
