Filling Fuel Tank
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fuel vapors are explosive and
ammable:
Shut engine o󰀨 before lling fuel tank.
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Keep fuel away from ames or sparks.
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in ventilated area.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
To prevent static electric discharge, use a clean,
approved non-metal container.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Dirt and water in fuel causes engine
damage:
Clean dirt and debris from the fuel tank opening.
Use clean, fresh, stabilized fuel.
To keep condensation out of the fuel tank, ll the fuel
tank at the end of operation each day.
If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no
screen or lter.
To prevent condensation and freezing during cold weather, ll fuel tank
at the end of operation each day.
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the Safety section.)
2. Allow engine to cool.
3. Remove any trash from area around fuel tank cap.
4. Remove fuel tank cap slowly to allow any pressure built up in tank
to escape.
5. Fill fuel tank only to bottom of ller neck. Do not overll.
6. Install fuel tank cap and turn cap until it clicks.

Lifting Machine
1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the Safety section.)
CAUTION: Avoid injury! The machine can fall or slip from an
unsafe lifting device or supports.
Use a safe lifting device rated for the load to be lifted.
Lower machine onto jackstands or other stable supports
and block wheels before servicing.
APY36180—UN—10JUL20
2. Safely lift rear of the machine at the machine frame point (A). Place
jackstands or other stable supports onto transaxle locations (B)
where mounting bolts for frame come through.
3. If only lifting rear of machine, block front wheels remaining on
ground to avoid movement of the machine.
APY36181—UN—10JUL20
4. Safely lift front of the machine at the machine frame point (C). Place
jackstands or other stable supports under the frame on each side at
location (B).
5. If only lifting front of machine, block rear wheels remaining on
ground to avoid movement of the machine.
6. To lower the machine, lift front and/or rear of machine, and remove
jackstands or supports. Lower machine.

Checking Tire Pressure
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim
parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Make sure that all tires are inated to the recommended
pressure, especially when operating on slopes. Low
pressure can cause machine to become unstable on
slopes.
Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform
the wheel.
Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to one side.
1. Check tires for damage.
2. Check tire pressure with an accurate low-pressure gauge.
3. A lower pressure will improve traction and performance depending
on turf conditions or if transport areas have steep inclines.
4. Add or remove air to meet specied tire pressure. (See
Specications section for recommended tire pressures.)

Removing and Installing Hood
Removing
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Touching hot surfaces can burn
skin. The engine, components, and uids are hot if the
engine has been running. Allow the engine to cool before
servicing or working near the engine and components.
