Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in failure or loss of a wheel and may
result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to 80 to 90
ft-lb (109 to 122 N-m) after 1 to 4 hours of operation
and again after 10 hours of operation. Torque every
200 hours thereafter.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The maximum air pressure in the front tires is 32 psi
(220 kPa) and the rear tires is 20 psi (138 kPa).
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper
inflation. If the tires are not inflated to the correct
pressure, the tires will wear prematurely.
Figure 19 is an example of tire wear caused by under
inflation.

Figure 20 is an example of tire wear caused by over
inflation.

Checking the Brake Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the
brake fluid level.
Every 1,000 hours/Every 2 years
(whichever comes first)—Change
the brake fluid.
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory
filled with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before
the engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily,
thereafter.
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the dash.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. The fluid level should be up to the Full line on the
reservoir (Figure 21).

3. If the fluid level is low, clean the area around the
cap, remove the reservoir cap, and fill the reservoir
to the proper level. Do not overfill.
Note: You can remove the hood access to the reservoir
from the front of the machine (Figure 22).
