tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is
600 – 650 in. lbs.

TIRE MAINTENANCE
This mower is equipped with tubeless tires of the size and
type listed below:
Size
11x4x5
Tire Air Pressure
Check the air pressure in all tires before use. Improper air
pressure will affect handling, steering response, traction,
tire life, level cutting, and operator comfort. Be sure tires are
inflated to the pressure shown below.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or adjusted
when tires are cold.

Pressure
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING:
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with mower operation and stability,
causing death or serious personal injury.
TIRE REPAIR
If a leak or flat tire occurs due to a puncture, the tire may be
repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage is from a
cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug, the
tire should be replaced.

REPLACING TIRES
When tires are worn, the traction of the mower will be de-
creased, which increases the chance of having an accident.
Tires should be replaced when the depth on the tread is
0.16 in. (4 mm) or less, or any time there is damage to the
tire. Always use identical replacement tires. Using improper
tires on the mower could cause loss of control, which could
cause serious personal injury.
Have tires replaced by an authorized service center or a
qualified tire repair station.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
See Figure 24.
DANGER:
Ensure the brakes are properly functioning at all times and
prior to each use. Improper brake function can cause loss
of control in an emergency situation and result in death
or serious personal injury.
Being able to stop the mower properly is critical to mowing
safety. If you've noticed your mower traveling farther before
stopping when you depress the brake pedal, the brakes may
need adjusting.
