JUMP STARTING
WARNING
Failure to use this jump starting procedure
could cause sparking, which could result in an
explosion of either battery.

terminal of the good battery to the positive terminal

TIRES
Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Over-
inflation will cause operator discomfort. Under-inflation
will cause short tire life.
Improperly inflated tires will also affect the leveling of
the mower deck and quality of cut.
Inflate the front and rear tires as shown in the following
table:
Tire Size Pounds per Square Inch
Front Tires
15 x 6–614
Rear Tires
20 x 9–810
Always ensure that the tire valve caps are in place and
tightened securely to prevent loss of air and to protect
the valve core and stem.
Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting
equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load
capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.
MOUNTING TIRES ON THE RIM
WARNING
Do not mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment. Do not inflate the tire above the
recommended pressure. Do not stand over the
tire assembly when inflating. Accidental over
inflation could cause an explosive separation of
the tire and rim, which could result in serious
injury of death.
After mounting a new or old tire on the rim, inflate it to
20 pounds (maximum) pressure to seat the tire bead
on the rim flange. Then deflate the tire to the corrrect
operating pressure.
NOTE
After the first 10 hours of operation, check and
retorque the rear wheel lug nuts (both sides) to
35 ft-lbs to make sure they are seated in the rim
and are properly tightened.
