ASSEMBLY

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

The tires on your tractor were overinflated at the factory

for shipping purposes. Correct tire pressure is important

for best cutting performance.

• Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown on tires.

CHECK DECK LEVELNESS

For best cutting results, mower housing should be properly

leveled. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in the Service

and Adjustments section of this manual.

CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION OF ALL

BELTS

See the figures that are shown for replacing motion and

mower blade drive belts in the Service and Adjustments

sec tion of this manual. Verify that the belts are routed

correctly.

CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM

After you learn how to operate your tractor, check to see that

the brake is operating properly. See “TO CHECK BRAKE”

in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
