position with the service brake while depressing the
clutch pedal (when bringing the vehicle to a stop,
apply the brakes until the vehicle has slowed, then
push the clutch in and apply the brakes until the

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)
Rear - Varies, determined by load. (See Chart)

2. Move the gear selector lever to Park (P) position

the brake pedal, turn the key switch to the OFF
position, and remove
