MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your tractor 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 the optional hour meter.
* See the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.
** Change original engine oil after first 5 hours of operation.
*** More often in hot (over 85° F: 30° C) weather or dusty operating conditions.
**** Perform service after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 250 hours.
Tire Pressure
Front 12-15 psi (83-104 kPa)

Figure 1. Checking Tire Pressure
CHECK TIRE PRESSURES
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.
