accurate pressure reading.
Refer to the maximum pressure suggested by the tire
manufacturer on the sidewall of the caster wheel tires.
Inflate the front caster wheel tires to 103 kPa (15 psi).
Inflate the rear drive wheel tires to 90 kPa (13 psi).

To ensure a superior quality of cut, keep the blades
sharp. For convenient sharpening and replacement,
keep extra blades on hand.
Blade Safety

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of
the blade could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death. Trying to
repair a damaged blade may result in discontinued
safety certification of the product.

Inspect the blades periodically for wear or damage.

Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
