TIRES
:
Upon receiving your mower, check air pressure in the tires and adjust according to
specifications.
Never inflate tires beyond 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) 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
:
Keep all safety shields in place.
When operating the power take-off, be sure the tractor shield is
always in place, covering the exposed power take-off shaft.
Before dismounting from the tractor, stop the power take-off, put
tractor in neutral, set brakes in lock position and shut off engine.
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
driveline, with the potential for future failure.
Do not exceed the recommended PTO speed of 540 RPM
.
