Checking Tire Pressure

WARNING! Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 10 psi on rear tires and 12 psi on front tires. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your tractor 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 & 12 psi for the front tires. Check sidewall of tire for maximum psi.

Adjusting the Seat

To adjust the position of the seat, push the seat adjustment lever to the left. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position; then release the adjustment lever. Make sure seat is locked into position before operating the tractor. See Figure 3-3.

Gas and Oil

The fuel tank is located at the rear of the tractor and holds

4-1⁄2 gallons of gas. Remove the fuel cap by turning it counter- clockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill the tank no higher the bottom of the fill 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 the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before operating.

CAUTION: Always check the engine oil level before each use as instructed in the Kohler Owner’s Manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to your engine
