Wheels and tires pressure - Check
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
A tire can explode during ination. Properly seat the tire before inating. Never increase air pressure
beyond 240 kPa (35 psi) to seat the bead on the wheel rim. Never use force on a partially or fully
inated tire. Do not exceed the ination pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

Check the tire pressures after every 50 hours of operation or weekly.
Tire ination pressure affects the amount of weight a
tire can carry. Check the air pressure in your tractor
tires, then locate the tires in the 9-2 chart found in this
manual. If necessary, adjust the tire pressure, being
careful not to overinate or under inate. Observe the
following guidelines:
•
Do not inate a tire above the maximum pressure
shown on the tire. If the tire is not marked, do not
exceed the maximum pressure shown in the Tire In-
ation chart found in this manual.
•
Do not inate a tire that has been run at or seriously
under inated until a qualied person has inspected
the tire for damage.
•
When checking tire pressure, inspect the tire for
damaged sidewalls and tread cuts. Neglected dam-
age leads to early tire failure.
