Identifying the Mulch Plug
On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can be
found within the cutting deck’s discharge opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching in the “Operating Your Lawn
Tractor” section of this manual for more detailed informa-
tion.
If you’d prefer to operate the cutting deck without mulch-
ing, simply remove the mulch plug by unthreading the
plastic wing nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This
will allow the clippings to discharge out of the discharge
opening during operation. See Fig. 3-8.
Tire Pressure
WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained at all times.
The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating
the tractor. Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 10 p.s.i for the rear tires & 14 p.s.i. for the
front tires. Check sidewall of tire for maximum p.s.i.
Maximum tire pres-
sure under any
circumstances is 30
psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained
at all times.
NOTE: For shipping rea-
sons, seats are either
fastened to the tractor
seat’s pivot bracket with
a plastic tie, or mounted
backward to the pivot
bracket. In either case,
free the seat form its
shipping position and
remove the two hex
screws (or knobs, on
models so equipped)
from the bottom of seat
before proceeding with
applicable instructions.
