of the hole in the transaxle lever.
4. Tighten the jam nuts when finished.

Inspecting the Tires

Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a
tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect tire
condition after an accident.
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear pre maturely.
Figure 48 is an example of tire wear caused by under inflation.

Checking the Front-wheel
Alignment
Service Interval: Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)
1. Make sure the tires are facing straight ahead.
2. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) at
the front and rear of the steering tires (Figure 50). The
measurement must be within 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)
at the front of the tire then at the rear of the tire. Rotate
the tire 90 degrees and recheck the measurement.
Important: Check the measurements at consistent
locations on the tire. The machine should be on a
flat surface with the tires facing straight ahead.
