Tire Pressure (If Applicable)
NOTE:
Not applicable to those units equipped
with airless tires.
WARNING!
Under any
circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer's recommended
psi. Equal tire pressure should be
maintained at all times. Excessive
pressure when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to
burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury. Refer to
sidewall of tire for recommended
pressure.
The tires are over-inflated for shipping
purposes. Check tire pressure before
operating unit. Refer to tire side wall for tire
manufacturer's recommended psi and deflate
(or inflate) tires as necessary.
NOTE:
Equal tire pressure is to be maintained
at all times for performance purposes.
