Check Tire Pressure
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct
air pressure in the front tires is 83–110 kPa and the
rear tire is 55–68 kPa.
IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in all tires
to assure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance. DO NOT UNDERINFLATE.
Check Reel-to-Bedknife Contact.
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bedknife
contact, regardless of whether quality of cut had previ-
ously been acceptable. There much be light contact
across the full length of the reel and bedknife.
Check The Torque of the Wheel

Before Operating
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling lt.
•
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine
is running, hot, or when the machine is in
an enclosed area.
•
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe
up any spilled diesel fuel before starting
the engine.
•
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved con-
tainer and keep the cap in place. Use
diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any
other purpose.
DANGER
Torque the wheel nuts to 61–88 Nm after 1–4
hours of operation and again after 10 hours of
operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
Failure to maintain proper torque could result in
failure or loss of the wheel and may result in
personal injury.
