TIRE MAINTENANCE
This mower is equipped with tubeless tires of the size and type listed below:
Front Tire Size
Rear Tire Size
15" x 6" x 6"
16" x 6.5" x 8"
Tire Air Pressure
Check the air pressure in all tires before use. Improper air pressure will affect handling, steering response,
traction, tire life, level cutting, and operator comfort. Be sure tires are inflated to the pressure shown below.
NOTE:
Tire pressure should only be measured or adjusted when tires are cold.
Recommended Pressure:
20 PSI (137 kPa)
WARNING!
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much air in the tire could cause the tire to burst,
causing serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very important. Too little pressure could allow the
tire to rotate off the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to burst. Failure to maintain
correct air pressure in the tires could cause problems with mower operation and stability, causing
serious personal injury.
TIRE REPAIR
If a leak or flat tire occurs due to a puncture, the tire may be repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage
is from a cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug, the tire should be replaced.
REPLACING TIRES
When tires are worn, the traction of the mower will be decreased, which increases the chance of having
an accident. Tires should be replaced when the depth on the tread is 5/32 in. (4 mm) or less, or any time
there is damage to the tire. Always use identical replacement tires. Using improper tires on the mower could
cause loss of control, which could cause serious personal injury.
Have tires replaced by an authorized service center or a qualified tire repair station.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES (See Fig. 27)
Being able to stop the mower properly is critical to mowing safety. If you’ve noticed your mower traveling
farther before stopping when you depress the brake pedal, the brakes may need adjusting.
To test:
• Park the mower on a level surface and set the parking brake.
• Place the direction control switch in neutral (N).
• Stand behind the mower and try to push it forward. If the rear tires turn, the brakes need to be
tightened.
To tighten:
• Locate the brake adjustment nuts on the interior side of each of the rear wheels.
