performed with the tractor’s PTO disengaged, the mower
lowered completely to the ground or on safely supported
blocking, tractor engine shut off and ignition key removed.

After using the mower for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight and check the tension of the
drive belt. Refer to Belt Tension in the “Adjustments”
section on page 13.

section, starting on page 17.
