CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the drive chains, the body must be removed and shims added behind the transaxle. Loosen 4 bolts which hold the transaxle to the frame. Insert shims (Pt. No. 2221 or 2222) as needed for adjustment between transaxle and mount plates. Tighten the 4 bolts which hold the transaxle to the frame. A few drops of oil periodically will lengthen

chain life. Replace chain when rollers become loose, chain breaks, or chain fails to operate properly. WHEELS AND TIRES Correct tire pressure is essential to correct operation of the mower. The correct pressure for the drive tires is 14 -16 Ibs. Lug nuts should be checked periodically. Front tires are semi-pneumatic and do not require inflation. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
