Check the Tires

Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).

7.Remove the adjuster nut (2) from the shifter bracket (3). Pull the motion drive belt over the shifter bracket (3) (see Figure 26).

8.To remove the motion drive belt (1) from the stack pulley (2), pull the front end of the belt under the stack pulley and then back between the stack pulley and the steering plate (3) (see Figure 34).
