MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES

The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower. You will need to keep a record of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURES

Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and main- tained at the levels shown in the chart.‘Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the “MaX Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire life.
