Tire Inflation

Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Improper inflation will affect tire life and operator comfort, and also could affect the level of the mower deck and quality of cut.

See the tire side wall for proper inflation range.

Ensure that the valve caps are securely tightened in place to prevent air loss and to protect the valve core.

Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.

Checking Transmission Oil Level

NOTE: Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is level.

Check the oil level of the transmission case before each use to see that it is filled to the correct level. Before
