TirePressure
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 10 p.s.i. Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstance is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should
be maintained on all tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is
clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and
rim generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i, to
seat beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury.
OFF-SEASONSTORAGE
If the tractor will remain unused for more than 30 days,
prepare it for storage as follows.
Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.
Lubricate all pivot and linkage points. Wipe the
tractor with an oiled rag to protect the surfaces.
Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions. The engine must be
completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits
from forming on essential carburetor parts, fuel
lines and fuel tanks.
If your tractor is equipped with the B type battery,
charge it fully. The battery loses some of its charge
each day when the unit is not used. NEVER store
battery without a full charge. Recharge battery
before returning to service or every two months,
whichever occurs first.
When storing unit for extended periods, disconnect
battery cables. Removing battery from unit is
recommended.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains,
springs, bearings and cables.
