Check Function of Dual Handle Interlock
Without the engine running, press down (engage) both
clutch levers. Release attachment clutch lever.
Attachment clutch should remain engaged until traction
clutch lever is released, then both clutches must
disengage. If they do not, contact your Dealer for
repairs.
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure and adjust to the pressure listed on
tire sidewall.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation
of tire and rim parts is possible when they are
serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without
the proper equipment and experience to
perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. Heat can cause an increase
in air pressure resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or
deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire
assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long enough
to allow you to stand to one side.
