•To remove the bulb assembly from the reflector, turn the socket coun- terclockwise to align its locking tabs with the notches in the reflector.
•Replace light bulb with like part.
•Align the tabs on the bulb assembly and the notches in the reflector and insert light bulb.
•Turn light bulb clockwise to lock in place. Connect wire harness and make sure that the locking tabs are seated on the light bulb.
Tail Light Bulb Replacement
Each tail light assembly has two lightbulbs. Access the back side of the tail lights from under the rear fender.
NOTE: Because of the close proximity of the fuel tank, caution should be taken when removing the tail light sockets from the reflector housings. The bulbs can be pulled from the sockets and dropped into the reflector housing, requiring removal of the reflector housing to retrieve the bulb.
To replace a light bulb:
•Turn the light socket counterclock- wise to align the socket tabs with the notches in the tail light reflector.
•Once aligned, carefully pull light socket out of the tail light reflector.
•Pull the light bulb from the socket and replace with like part.
•Align the tabs of the socket with the notches in the reflector and carefully insert the socket. Turn the socket fully clockwise to lock in place.
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.

Figure 19
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 checking the transmission oil level, clean the area around the Transmis- sion Oil Fill/Dipstick to prevent debris from entering the transmission case. Always keep the oil level between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the dipstick. When checking the oil level, the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then reinserted all the way before being withdrawn again for a true reading.
