Tire Pressure

WARNING! Maximum tire pressure under any

circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be

maintained at all times. Never exceed the maximum

inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

The recommended operating tire pressure is:

• Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires

• Approximately 14 psi for the front tires

IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire

manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi. Do not

overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to

mow unevenly.

Figure 3-4 and fit the seat onto the pivot bracket inserting

the two tabs on the seat bottom into the slots on the pivot

bracket.

3. Slide the seat rearward in the seat pivot bracket (c),

lining up the center rear slot in the pivot bracket with the

remaining hole in the seat’s base. See Figure 3-5.

Note: Be certain the two seat tabs engauge the pivot

bracket as shown in the bottom right inset of Figure 3-5.

4. Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the

adjustment knob (d in Figure 3-5) removed earlier.

5. To adjust the position of the seat, remove the adjustment

knob on the bottom of the seat. Slide the seat forward or
