Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Every 25 hours
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires at
14 psi (97 kPa). Check the pressure at the valve stem
(Figure 40) after every 25 operating hours or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Check the tires when they are
cold to get the most accurate pressure reading.
