MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your rider and mower. You will need to keep a record of
your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one job
by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install an hour meter.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and main-
tained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these
pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation”
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures
shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and
extend tire life.
