TIRES

To avoid personal injury or death:
A Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This
should be done by a qualified person with the
proper equipment.
A Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the operator's manual.
A Do not use tires other than those approved by
KUBOTA.
A When optional different-diameter tires are fitted on the
machine, the travel speed display mode must be
changed. Otherwise the travel speed will not get
correctly displayed. Such mode switching is also
needed when the original tires are back on the
machine.
(See "LCD MONITOR" in "OPERATING THE
TRACTOR" section.)
BInflation Pressure
Though the tire pressure is factory-set to the prescribed
level, it naturally drops slowly in the course of time. Thus,
check it everyday and inflate as necessary.

WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

To avoid personal injury or death:
A When working on slopes or when working with
trailer, set the wheel tread as wide as practical
for maximum stability.
A Support tractor securely on stands before
removing a wheel.
A Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down,
or be accidentally lowered. If necessary to work
under tractor or any machine elements for
servicing or adjustment, securely support them
with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
A Never operate tractor with a loose rim, wheel,
or axle.
BSafe Replacement of the Wheel
The wheel is heavy. Take the following precautions when
removing the wheel.
1. Park the tractor on a solid, level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and use chocks.
3. In detaching the rear wheels, apply a wedge in place
to keep the front axle from oscillating.
4. Use a jack or the like that withstands the relevant
weight.
5. Use an appropriate tire remover.
6. Tighten the bolts and nuts to their specified torques.
