Checking the Tire Pressure

Check the front and rear tires for proper inflation. Refer to
Tire Pressure in the Operator's Manual for the
recommended inflation pressure.

ahead.
2. Slide the steering wheel over the steering shaft. Line up
the hole in the steering wheel with the hole in the shaft
(Fig. 3). From the seat you should be able to read the
brand logo on the steering wheel.
3. To align the holes, insert a punch or long nail partially
through the holes in the steering wheel and shaft. Then
insert the spirol pin into the hole on the opposite side.
4. Using a hammer, drive the spirol pin in until it is flush
with the outside of the steering wheel (Fig. 3).
