Rider Maintenance Items
CLEAN DEBRIS FROM RIDER AND
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Service interval: Before each use.
CAUTION: If debris is not removed from the engine
compartment and other hot surfaces, it creates a fire
hazard. Before starting the unit at the beginning of the
mowing session, remove any grass clippings, dirt,
leaves, or other debris from the unit. Also clean out the
engine compartment.
CLEAN DEBRIS FROM ENGINE
COOLING AREAS AND AIR FILTER
Service Interval: Before each use.
CAUTION: If debris is not removed from the engine
compartment and other hot surfaces, it creates a fire
hazard. Before starting the unit at the beginning of the
mowing session, lift the seat deck and clean any debris
from the intake screen on top of the engine (A, Figure
13), exposed engine cooling fins, and around the air filter
assembly. Also open the air filter cover (B) and remove
any debris that has accumulated in the air filter compart­
ment.
CHECKTIRE PRESSURE
Service Interval: 25 Hours.
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main­
tained at the levels shown in Figure 14. Note that these
pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation”
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures
shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and
extend tire life.
