Tire Pressure; Tire Removal And Installation - Cushman Turf Truckster Parts & Maintenance Manual

5.16 TIRE PRESSURE __________________________________________________________

Keep tires properly inflated to prolong tire life. Check
inflation pressure while the tires are cool. Inspect tread
wear.
Lower pressure will help avoid leaving tire marks in soft
turf. Higher pressures may be required for heavier loads.
Rear tire pressure must be set at 28 psi (1.93 BAR) when
operating with a full load. Never exceed the maximum
pressure indicated on the tire.
Check the pressure with an accurate, low pressure tire
gauge. Due to the low volume of air needed over-inflation
may be reached in a matter of two to three seconds.
Keep tires inflated to:
Front - 20 psi - (1.38 BAR)
