Check Tire Pressure
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire
life.

Battery Charging
WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the
gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the
battery well during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may
be the result of a defect in the charging system or other
electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause
of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the
battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery &
Cables in the Maintenance Section.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge
the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity
of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte
temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate
higher than 10 amps.
