SECTION 7: SERVICE

Tires

WARNING: Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

The recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 10 psi for the rear tires and 14 psi for the front tires.

Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.

Head Lamps

WARNING: If the engine has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Allow the tractor to cool and use caution when changing the lamp bulbs.

Replace headlight bulbs as follows:

Lift the hood and locate the headlight wire harness and lamp sockets

To remove the bulb & socket from the reflector housing, simply grasp the socket and gently rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise.

After replacing the bulb, align the tab of the socket with the notch of the reflector and gently rotate it 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

Cutting Blades

WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off, remove ignition key, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting before removing the cutting blade(s) for sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands by using heavy gloves when grasping the blade.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade adapter and/or spindle for cracks or damage, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace immediately if damaged.

The blades may be removed as follows.

Remove the deck from beneath the tractor, (refer to Cutting Deck Removal on page 21) then gently flip the deck over to expose its underside.
