Checking The Tire Pressure; Checking The Wheel Lug Nuts; Adjusting The Caster-Pivot Bearing - Toro 72027 Operator's Manual

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Every 50 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
Rear tire air pressure specification: 124 kPa (18
psi).
Note:
The caster tires are semi-pneumatic tires and
do not require air pressure maintenance.
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Check the air pressure in the rear tires. Add or remove
air as needed to set the air pressure in the tires to the
tire air pressure specification.
Important:
Maintain pressure in all tires to
ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine
performance.
Check the air pressure in all the tires before
operating the machine.
