Check Tire Pressures

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the
tires above the recommended pressure.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front
of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims
or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Tire failure due to overloading can cause loss of vehicle
control during transport resulting in serious injury or death
to you or others. Prevent tire failure by using only tires
specified for your machine and inflating them to correct
pressures.
IMPORTANT
Tire pressure chart shown
reference only. Ensure machine performance by using
only tires specified for your machine and inflating them to
correct pressures.
For the even working depth of attachments in the ground, tires
must be inflated to specification. A low tire causes deeper
penetration on one side than the other. Deeper penetration
on one side can cause the machine to side draft. Inflate all
tires to correct pressures.
1. Unfold the machine into the Field Position.

3. Relieve all the hydraulic pressure by placing the tractor
SCV levers to the FLOAT POSITION
running for the Main Frame Lift & Wing Fold cylinders.
