In some areas, locallaws requiresthe useof a resistor spark
plug to control the ignition signals. Seean Authorized
ServiceCenterfor a resistor spark plug for the engine.
NOTE:Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due
to operating limitations and environmental factors.
CheckTire Pressures
Tirepressure should becheckedperiodically,and maintained
atthe levels shown in the chart. Notethat these pressures
may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"stamped on the
side-wall of the tires. The pressuresshown provide proper
traction, improve cut quality, and extendtire life.
Tire Pressure
Front 25 psi (1,72 bar)
