Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check the tire pressure before operating the machine
(Figure 35). The correct air pressure in the front and
rear tires is as follows:
•
Treaded tires: 70 kPa (10 psi)
Note:
If additional traction is required for blade
operation, reduce the pressure to 55 kPa (8 psi).
•
Smooth tires: 55 to 70 kPa (8 to 10 psi)

Adjusting the Transport
Speed
Obtaining Maximum Transport
Speed
The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport
speed and reverse at the factory, but an adjustment
may be required if the pedal reaches full stroke before
the pump lever reaches full stroke, or if a decrease in
transport speed is desired.
To obtain maximum transport speed, press down
on the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts the stop
(Figure 36) before the pump lever reaches full stroke,
adjust it:
1. Pedal stop
1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake, and remove
the key.
2. Loosen the nut securing the pedal stop.
3. Tighten the pedal stop until it does not contact
the traction pedal.
4. Continue applying a light load on the transport
pedal and adjust the pedal stop so that it just
contacts or a gap of 2.5 mm (0.100 inch) is
attained between the pedal rod and the stop.
5. Tighten the nuts.
Reducing the Transport Speed
1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake, and remove
the key.
2. Loosen the nut securing the pedal stop.
3. Thread the pedal stop out until the desired
transport speed is attained.
4. Tighten the nut securing the pedal stop.
