HOW TO CHECK THE FUEL FILTER
NOTE: Before you replace the fuel filter or the fuel line, the fuel tank must be empty.
If the fuel filter is dirty, the engine will run rough and have less performance. Remove the old filter (Figure 23). Replace the old filter with a new filter. Use an original equipment part. See an authorized service dealer in your area.

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 14 PSI (1 BAR).
