Checking The Tire Pressure; Checking The Wheel Nuts; Every 50 Service Hours; Draining The Water From The Fuel Tank - Kubota SSV65 Operator's Manual

DAILY CHECKS
IMPORTANT :
• If dust or dirt is stuck in the fuel tank cap, the
fuel tank may fail to allow in air, possibly getting
deformed.
• While cleaning, be careful not to allow dust or
dirt into the fuel tank.

20. Checking the tire pressure

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This
should be done by a qualified person with the
proper equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do
not inflate tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the operator's manual.
• When inflating the tire, use a self-holding chuck
and a remotely-operable shut valve as well.
Keep blowing up the tire away from it.
If the air pressure in the tire is too high or too low, the
life of the tire will be shortened.
Make routine checks of the air pressure in tires, and
adjust so the pressure is correct.
Always measure the tire pressure, and check for
damage to the tires or rims before starting operation.
1. Check the tire pressure.
(A) Insufficient
(B) Correct
(C) Excessive
• Insufficient low tire pressure
Too small amount of air in the tire can cause the
tire to obtain excessive slack, which makes for
faster wearing down of the tread.
• Excessively high tire pressure
Too high tire pressure causes the tractive force
of the machine to decrease or the tire to slip.
There is also the risk of a blow out.
2. Correct the tire pressure if necessary.
