NOTE:  You may now roll your riding 

mower off the skid. Follow the appropriate

The tires on your riding mower were

for best cutting performance.

•  Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown on

tires.

should be properly leveled. See “TO LEVEL

MOWER HOUSING” in the Service and 

Adjustments section of this manual.

See the figure that is shown for replacing 

the mower drive belt in the service and 

adjustment section of this manual.  Verify 

that the belt is routed correctly.

After you learn how to operate your rid-

ing mower, check to see that the brake
