TIRES
:
Upon receiving your mower, check air pressure in the tires and adjust
according to specifications.
Mower Deck Tires – 24 PSI
Main Frame Tires – 32 PSI
CAUTION -
Never inflate tires beyond 35 pounds per square
inch to seat beads. Inflation beyond 35 PSI pressure before seating
the bead may break the bead or even the rim with an explosive
force. If beads have not seated by the time the pressure has
reached 35 PSI, deflate the assembly, move tire to another position
on the rim and re-lubricate. Inflate tire and inspect both sides of
the tires to be sure beads are seated properly. If not, deflate tire,
unseat beads and repeat the above mounting procedure. After
properly seating beads adjust to pressure recommended.
POWER TAKE-OFF
:
CAUTION -
Keep all safety shields in place.
CAUTION -
When operating the power take-off, be sure the
tractor shield is always in place, covering the exposed power
take-off shaft.
WARNING -
Before dismounting from the tractor, stop the
power take-off, put tractor in neutral, set brakes in lock position
and shut off engine.
CAUTION
When ready to engage PTO shaft, be sure engine
RPM is at idle speed. Engaging PTO at full throttle will cause
high shock loads to drive line, with the potential for future failure.
NOTE : Do not exceed the recommended PTO speed of 540 RPM .
