If only the front or rear of the mower is raised, place
chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not
raised.
1. Remove dirt, grease, and oil from stud thread. Do not
lubricate threads.
2. Position wheel on hub and inspect to insure full contact
between mounting surface of wheel and hub or brake
drum.
3. Finger tighten all hardware then torque hardware in
criss-cross order; always tighten nuts in the top
position.
4. Check and retorque daily until torque is maintained,
85-95 ft.lbs. (115-128 Nm).
To protect from carbon monoxide poisoning, inspect the
complete exhaust system regularly and always replace a
defective muffler.
If you notice a change in the color or sound of the exhaust,
stop the engine immediately. Identify the problem and have
the system repaired.
Torque all exhaust manifold hardware evenly. Tighten or
replace exhaust clamps.
