The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your rider and mower. You will need to keep a
record of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by observing the hour meter.

Check Tire Pressures
Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note

Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The
pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut
quality, and extend tire life.
