Open the bleed screw on the filter mounting
allowing the bowl to re-fill with fuel. Close the

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct
air pressure is:
Front tires 55–83 kPa
Rear tire 55–103 kPa
CHECK THE REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE
CONTACT
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bedknife
contact, regardless of whether nor not the quality of cut
had been acceptable. There must be light contact across
the full length of the reel and bedknife (refer to
Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in the Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual).
CHECK THE TORQUE OF THE
WHEEL NUTS
Before Operating
14
Torque the wheel nuts to 54–68 Nm after 1–4 hours of
operation and again after 10 hours of operation and
every 200 hours thereafter. Failure to maintain proper
torque could result in failure or wheel loss, and may
result in personal injury.
WARNING
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the
fuel tank. Do not fill fuel the tank while engine is
running, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed
area. Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up
any spilled diesel fuel before starting the engine.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and
keep the cap in place. Use diesel fuel for the engine
only; not for any other purpose.
