Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Every 50 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires at
90 kPa (13 psi). Uneven tire pressure can cause an
uneven cut. Check the tires when they are cold to get
the most accurate pressure reading.
Checking the Wheel-Lug
Nuts
Check and torque the wheel lug nuts to 122 to 129
N∙m (90 to 95 ft-lb).
Checking the Wheel-Hub
Slotted Nut
Service Interval: After the first 100 hours
Every 500 hours
Check and ensure that the torque of the slotted nut is
286 to 352 N∙m (211 to 260 ft-lb).
Note:
Do not use anti-seize compound on wheel hub.
