MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor and mower. You will need to keep a record
of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one
job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main-
tained at the levels shown in the chart at right. Note that
these pressures differ slightly from the “Max Inflation”
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures
shown in the chart provide proper traction, improved cut
quality, and extended tire life.
