set the desired gap. (The swivel always >
goes into the forward hole.) Install the
washer and a new cotterpin.

direction control lever, so that the left

lever.
BRAKE LINING THICKNESS Check the thickness of the brake lining on
both wheels as called out in the
maintenance schedule.
The total thickness of the friction material

TIRES . FRONT TIRE PRESSURE: 193 KPA (28 PSI)

Incorrect tire inflation can cause the mower not to track in a straight path.
Replace the tires when the tread is worn. Worn-out tires will not provide good
traction, especially on slopes and uneven ground.
