Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual. However, to obtain
"no charge" emissions control service, the work must be per-
formed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions
Warranty.
Check Mower Blade Stopping Time
Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a
complete stop within five seconds after the electric PTO
switch is turned off.
1. With tractor in neutral, PTO disengaged and operator in
seat, start the engine.
2. Look over the left-hand footrest at the mower drive belt.
Engage the PTO and wait several seconds. Disengage
the PTO and check the amount of time it takes for the
mower drive belt to stop.
3. If mower drive belt does not stop within five seconds, see
your dealer.
Check Tire Pressures
The tire pressure should be checked periodically (Figure
11). The maximum inflation is stamped on the sidewall of the
tires. Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure.
