MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES
The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your rider and mower. You will need to keep a
record of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes
to do one job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install an hour meter.
Tire Pressure
Front 25 psi (1,72 bar)
Rear 15 psi (1,03 bar)
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. 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.
