Checking Tire Pressure

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:

ˇ Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

ˇ Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

ˇ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.

ˇ Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Refueling Machine

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable:

ˇ DO NOT refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine is running. STOP engine.

ˇ Fill fuel tank outdoors.

ˇ Prevent fires: clean oil, grease and dirt from machine. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

ˇ Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

ˇ To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge, while you fill tank, use a non-metal fuel container. If you use a funnel, MAKE SURE it is PLASTIC. Avoid using a funnel which has a metal screen or filter.

ˇ Use only clean oil and fuel and clean approved containers and funnels.

ˇ Store oil and fuel in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contamination.

Fuel

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Avoid spilling fuel. Fuel can damage plastic and painted surfaces.

DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Only use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

Fuel tank capacity: 41.6 L (11 U.S. gal).


ˇ Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline.

ˇ Remove any trash from top of fuel tank drain area.

ˇ Never use fuel that is stale or has been stored for a long period of time:

Warm Weather: Maximum 60 days.

Cold Weather: Maximum of 90 days.

ˇ Fill fuel tank at the end of each day's operation. This helps to keep condensation out of fuel tank.

Oxygenated Fuel

Oxygenates (either ethanol or MTBE) are added to the gasoline. If you use the oxygenated fuel be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

The following are the EPA approved percentages of fuel oxygenates:

ETHANOL (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol): You may use gasoline containing up to 10 percent ethanol by volume.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether): You may use gasoline containing up to 15 percent MTBE by volume.

METHANOL (Methyl or Wood Alcohol): You may use gasoline containing up to 5 percent methanol by volume, as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5 percent methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.

Adjusting Toe-In

1. Park Front Mower on level surface.


M78401

2. Turn steering wheel so rear wheels are in STRAIGHT-AHEAD position.

3. Lower attachment to ground.

4. LOCK park brake.

5. STOP engine. Remove key.

6. Measure distance between tire beads (A) at front of tire, hub height.

7. Measure distance between tire beads at rear of tire, hub height.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Ball joints MUST move freely after you tighten tie rod nuts.


8. Front distance should be 5 mm (3/16 in.) less than rear distance (B). If not, adjust tie rod length.


M33882

9. Loosen tie rod nut.

10. Turn tie rod until toe-in is to correct specification.

11. Tighten tie-rod nuts.

Filling Fuel Tank

1. STOP engine. If engine is hot let it cool several minutes before you add fuel.


M78400

2. Remove fuel tank cap (A) slowly to allow any pressure built up in tank to escape.

3. Fill tank only to bottom of filler neck.

4. Install fuel tank cap.
