Walker Mowers are shipped partially assembled to
our distribution network. These steps should be
completed before the customer takes possession
of their new mower.
Assembling the Tractor
The following steps need to be performed to pre-
pare the R21 for initial use after shipment from the
factory.
1. Install the Seat.

panel.
A. Install the seat using the four (4) 1-1/4 x
3/4 Shock Mounts and 5/16-18 Whiz Lock-

inflation of the tires. The tire inflation recom-
mendations are:

For tractors shipping outside the US the following
additional steps will need to be performed.

automotive grade
unleaded
gasoline (87 oc-
tane minimum, 10% ethanol maximum).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
permit dirt or other
foreign matter to enter the fuel tank. Wipe dirt
from around the filler cap before removing.
Use a clean fuel storage container and funnel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
mix oil with gasoline.
Always use fresh, automotive grade unleaded
gasoline.
DO NOT

greater than 10% ethanol.
DO NOT
use ad-
ditives, such as carburetor cleaners, deicers,
or moisture removing agents.

sive. Use safe refueling procedures:
