en-91
7.17 TIRES ___________________________________________________________________
Keep the tires correctly inflated to increase tire life. Inspect the tread wear.
Check the tire pressure each day, while the tires are cool. Use an accurate low-pressure tire gauge.
Keep tires inflated at the correct pressure (See Section 7.1)
7.18 WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE____________________________________________
Remove dirt, grease and oil from the stud threads. Do not lubricate threads.
Put the wheel on the hub. Inspect the wheel to make sure of full contact between surface of
wheel and hub.
Tighten all hardware with your fingers, then torque hardware in the order shown. When
possible, tighten nuts in the top position.
Check and torque hardware each day until torque is kept at 85-95 ft.lb. (115-128Nm).
CAUTION
DO NOT try to put a tire on a rim unless you have the correct training, tools and experience. Incorrect
mounting can cause an explosion which can cause injury.
WARNING
Make sure the mower is parked on a solid and level surface. Never work on a mower that is supported only by
the jack. Always use jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the mower is lifted, put the chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not
lifted.
