CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct
air pressure in the front and rear tires is 20 psi.
IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in all tires to
assure a good quality-of-cut and proper machine
performance. DO NOT UNDER INFLATE.

wheel nuts or bolts to 85100 ft-lb after 14
hours of operation and again after 10 hours of
operation and every 200 hours thereafter. Fail
ure to maintain proper torque could result in
failure or loss of wheel and may result in per
sonal injury.
