Checking the Air Pressure
in the Tires
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire air pressure specification (front and rear tires):
138 kPa (20 psi).
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side-hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not underinflate the tires.
Check the air pressure in the front and 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.
