3.18 Tires and Wheels
Check the air pressure in the rear drive tires. Maintain air pressure at 18 psi, or as needed
to maintain level deck cutting.
Check the air pressure in the front tires. Maintain air pressure at 12 psi, or as needed to
maintain level deck cutting
Verify proper function of all mower deck wheels. The wheels should turn freely without
excessive side-to-side motion, and be free of debris. Clean, adjust, replace, and grease
as necessary.
Check that each wheel swivels freely in the shaft pivot collar, and the bearings are in
good condition. If any wheel does not swivel freely, clean and grease the shaft collar
assembly. Replace the bearings if necessary.
3.19 General Inspection
Verify that all warning decals are in place, visible, and legible.
Verify that all covers and safety devices are properly installed and secure.
Check that the discharge chute is clear of debris, properly mounted, and in good condi-
tion.
Inspect entire Lastec Mower for loose or entangled parts, debris, obstructions, misplaced
tools, or any other possible safety hazards, equipment hazards, or projectile hazards.
3.20 Engine
While the engine is running, check the exhaust. During proper operation, the exhaust
should be colorless. If the engine runs continuously with dark exhaust, stop the engine
and correct the problem before operating your Lastec Mower.
Listen for any unusual engine noises. If the engine suddenly slows down or accelerates,
makes any abnormal noises, runs roughly, or displays any other usual characteristics,
stop the engine and correct the problem before operating your Lastec Mower.
