Craftsman Essential Tire Pressure Guidelines for Riding Mowers and Lawn Tractors

Page 8

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

The tires on your tractor were overinflated

at the factory for shipping purposes. Cor- rect tire pressure is important for best cutting performance.

•Reduce tire pressure to PSi shown on tires.

CHECK DECK LEVELNESS

For best cutting results, mower hous-

ing should be properly leveled. See "TO LEVEL MOWER" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual.

CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION

OF ALL BELTS

See the figures that are shown for replac- ing motion and mower blade drive belts

in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. Verify that the belts are routed correctly.

CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM

After you learn how to operate your trac- tor, check to see that the brake is operat- ing properly. See "TO CHECK BRAKE"

in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
