DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when
the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 180-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate machine without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working condition.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Using a clean rag, clean area around fuel tank cap.
3. Remove cap from the fuel tank

1. Fuel tank cap
4. Fill the tank until the level is to the bottom of the filler
neck with diesel fuel.
5.
Install fuel tank cap tightly after filling tank.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside
the fuel tank.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The correct air pressure in the front tires is 345 kPa (50 psi )
and the rear tires are 207 kPa (30 psi)
Important: Maintain pressure in all tires to ensure a
good quality-of-cut and proper machine performance.
Do not under-inflate.

Check the air pressure in all the tires before operating
the machine.

Checking the Torque of Wheel
Lug Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Every 250 hours
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in failure or loss of wheel and may
result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to 95 to 122
N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb) after 10 hours of operation.
Torque every 250 hours thereafter.
Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut is adjustable from 25 to 153 mm (1 to
6 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments. To adjust the
height-of-cut, position the castor wheel axles in the upper
or lower holes of the castor forks, add or remove an equal
number of spacers from the castor forks, and adjust the rear
chain (front deck only) to the desired holes. The higher
heights of cut are attained by repositioning the deck caster
arms to the lower set of holes on the deck mounting brackets.
Front Cutting Unit
1. Start the engine and raise the cutting units so that the
height-of-cut can be changed. Stop the engine and
remove the key after the cutting unit is raised.
2. Position the castor wheel axles in the same holes in all
castor forks. Refer to the chart
the correct holes for the setting.
