Installing the Steering Wheel (If necessary)
The hardware for attaching the steering wheel has been packed
within the steering wheel, beneath the steering wheel cap.
Carefully pry off the steering wheel cap and remove the hardware.
IMPORTANT! Do not use impact tools to install or remove the
steering wheel. Doing so may cause damage to critical power
steering components.
1. With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight forward, align
the steering wheel by using the center-line on the front of the
steering wheel pointing straight ahead and the flat section of
the steering wheel facing toward the seat, place the steering
wheel over the steering shaft. See Figure 3-3.

cap and torque to 18-22 ft.-lbs.
3. Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the steering
wheel and push downward until it "clicks" into place.
NOTE: The bolt securing the steering wheel has thread
locker applied to it, so if it is removed, it is recommended
that the bolt be replaced or thread lock re-applied.

Checking Tire Pressure
WARNING!
Maximum tire pressure under any
circumstances is 10 psi on rear tires and 12 psi on
front tires. Equal tire pressure should be maintained
at all times.
The tires on your tractor may be over-inflated for shipping
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating the tractor.
Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 10 p.s.i.
for the rear tires & 12 psi for the front tires. Check sidewall of tire
for maximum psi.
Gas and Oil
The fuel tank is located at the rear of the tractor and holds
4-1⁄2 gallons of gas. Remove the fuel cap by turning it counter-
clockwise. Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days old),
unleaded gasoline. Fill the tank no higher the bottom of the fill
neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
WARNING!
Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
NOTE: Your tractor is shipped with oil in the engine.
However, you MUST check the oil level before operating.
CAUTION:
Always check the engine oil level before
each use as instructed in the Engine Operator's
Manual. Add oil as necessary. Failure to do so may
result in serious damage to your engine
