Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Every 50 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
Maintain the air pressure in the rear tires at 83 to 97 kPa (12
to 14 psi). Uneven tire pressure can cause an uneven cut.
Note: The front tires are semi-pneumatic tires and do not
require air pressure maintenance.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Air-Intake Screen
Before each use, remove any buildup of grass, dirt, or
other debris from the cylinder and cylinder-head cooling
fins, the air-intake screen on the flywheel end, and the
carburetor-governor levers and linkage. This will help ensure
adequate cooling and correct engine speed and will reduce
the possibility of overheating and mechanical damage to the
engine.
