Operation

Pre-Start Check List
Make the following checks and perform the service required
before each start-up:
1. Check the tire pressure; add or release air as needed to
bring pressure to 12 PSI in front and 12 PSI in rear.
2. Check guards, deflectors and covers to make sure all are
in place and securely tightened.
3. Check engine oil and add oil as needed to bring level up
to the FULL mark (A, Figure 1). Refer to the engine
manual for oil specifications.

4. Adjust the seat (A, Figure 3) as needed to the most
comfortable position. Refer to the Section entitled
"OPERATOR'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT".
5. Check the blade control to insure it works freely. If the
blade pedals are depressed, the blade lever can be
moved manually from "ON" to "OFF" to stop the blade.
6. Check the Reverse Lockout Mechanism. With the blade
pedals depressed, the shift lever must not go into
reverse.
7. Clean the exterior surfaces of the cutting deck and
engine of any accumulation of dirt, grass, oil, etc. Keep
the engine air intake screen and cooling fins clear at all
times.
8. Add fuel to the fuel tank after pushing the Rear Engine
Rider outside where fumes can dissipate. Make sure the
fuel filler cap (A, Figure 2) is tight, and the vent (B) is
open after refueling. Refer to the engine manual for fuel
specifications.
