Maintenance

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. The
proper air pressure in the tires is 97 to 124 kPa (14
to 18 psi).
Note:
Maintain the recommended pressure in all tires
to ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance.
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.

Torquing the Wheel Nuts

Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel nuts in a crossing pattern to 61 to
88 N∙m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.
Ensure that the wheel nuts are torqued to 61
to 88 N∙m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
Adjusting the Traction
Drive for Neutral
If the machine moves when the traction pedal is in the
N position, adjust the traction cam.
EUTRAL
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Raise a front wheel and a rear wheel off the floor
and place support blocks under the frame.
WARNING
If the machine is not supported
adequately, it may accidentally fall,
injuring anyone under the machine.
A front wheel and a rear wheel must be
raised off the ground; otherwise, the
machine will move during adjustment.
3. Loosen the locknut on the traction adjustment
cam (Figure 66).

WARNING
The engine must be running so that
you can make a final adjustment of
the traction adjustment cam. Contact
with hot or moving parts can result in
personal injury.
Keep your hands, feet, face, and other
body parts away from the muffler, other
hot parts of the engine, and rotating
parts.
4. Start the engine and rotate the cam hex in both
directions to determine the mid position of the
neutral span.
5. Tighten the locknut securing the adjustment.
6. Shut off the engine.
7. Remove the support blocks and lower the
machine to the shop floor. Test drive the
machine to ensure that it does not move when
the traction pedal is in neutral.
