MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
DANGER
• NEVER use force on an infla ted or part ially inflated tire. M ake sure the tire is correctly seated before
inflating to operating pressure.
• Do NOT remove, install, or make repairs to a tire on a rim unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.
• If the tire is NOT in correct position on the rim or if over-inflated, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in any
direction, endangering anyone in the area.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
Visually check daily that tires have not lost pressure. Adjust pressure as required. Under-inflated drive tires can
cause sidewall cracks. Check tire pressure e very year.
Maintain tire pressure as follows :
1. Shut down the engine and remove key.
2. Determine the type and size of tire that is installed on your machine.
3. Refer to the following table to determine the appropriate tire pressure:

ng Drive Wheel Nuts
At first use, or when a wheel is removed, torque drive wheel nuts after one hour of operation. Continue with torque
procedure every hour until two consecutive checks produce no movement of the nuts.
