How to Check the Fuel Filter

NOTE: Before you replace the fuel filter or the fuel line, the fuel tank must be empty.

If the fuel filter is dirty, the engine will run rough and have less performance. Remove the old filter (Figure 31). Replace the old filter with a new filter. Use an original equipment part. See an authorized service dealer in your area.

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 cutting level.

Recommended air pressure is 14 PSI (1 BAR) for both front and rear tires.
