OPERATION

Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway

or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake

pedals should be locked together.

Locking the

pedals

ensures

that

both

wheels

brake

simultaneously while stopping, especially when

making an emergency stop.

Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications

of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at

road speeds.

For towing speeds, refer to Tire

Speed / Inflation Pressure chart in the Tires and

Wheels section. OPS-U- 0018_SI str

13.1 Tires and Wheels

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the

mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not

exceed 12 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Laminated tires must

be installed with the laminations orientated as shown.

Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the

mower is frequently transported between locations.

Pneumatic Tires Implement tires are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture

proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires.

Check side wall of tire for proper inflation pressure. DO NOT over-inflate. OPS-R-0035_J str
