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 deck from cut-
ting 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 Deck
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
to "Level the Mower Deck" in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
Prepare the Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled
with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer's instructions for the type
of fuel and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the
information on safety, operation, maintenance, and
storage.
WARNING
Follow the engine manufacturer's instructions for
the type of fuel and oil to use. Always use a safety
fuel container. Do not smoke when adding fuel to
the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill
with fuel. Before you add fuel, stop the engine. Let
the engine cool for several minutes.
Assemble the Fuel Cap
The fuel cap will be shipped in the Parts Bag and tape
will be placed over the fuel tank opening during ship-
ment. Before operation, remove tape from opening on
fuel tank and install fuel cap.
