not disengaging completely. For a proper working
machine, use factory approved belts.
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should be
replaced if any signs of wear are present . To change or replace

Fuse
WARNING!
Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
A 20 Amp fuse is installed in your tractor’s wiring harness to
protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by
excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor’s engine
will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse has not
blown. It is located under the hood, mounted behind the top of
the dash panel on the support bar.
CAUTION:
Always use a replacement fuse with the
same amperage capacity as the blown fuse.
Tires
WARNING!
Never exceed the maximum inflation
pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow
unevenly.

Several components must be removed and special tools used in
order to change the tractor’s transmission drive belt. See your
