SECTION 5: TRACTOR SET-UP

Gas and Oil Fill-up

Use only clean, fresh (under 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no more than 1/2 inch below the top of the filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition before filling the fuel tank.

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manufacturer’s Operator/Owner Manual packed with your tractor. Read instructions carefully.

Tire Pressure

WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating the tractor. Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 10 p.s.i for the rear tires & 14 p.s.i. for the front tires. Check sidewall of tire for maximum p.s.i.

Shipping Brace Removal

WARNING: Make sure the engine is off, set the parking brake and remove the ignition key before removing the shipping brace.

•Locate the shipping brace, if present, and warning tag found on the right side of the cutting deck.

•While holding the discharge chute with your left hand, remove the shipping brace with your right hand by grasping it between your thumb and index finger and rotating it clockwise.

WARNING: The shipping brace, used for packaging purposes only, must be removed and discarded before operating your tractor.

WARNING: The mowing deck is capable of throwing objects. Failure to operate the tractor without the discharge cover in the proper operating position could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
