TIRES

Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See "PROD UCT

•
Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi-

•
Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and
other hazards that may cause tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent fl at tires due to
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and
corrosion.

ing properly. If your tractor does not function as described,
repair the problem immediately.
