Check Tire Pressure
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the
tires above the recommended pressure.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT
in front
of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims
or missing lug bolts and nuts.
CAUTION
Tire failure due to overloading can cause loss of vehicle
control during transport resulting in serious injury or death
to you or others. Prevent tire failure by using only tires
specified for your machine and inflating them to correct
pressures.
IMPORTANT
Tire pressure chart shown
(See Fig. # 5-30)

reference only. Ensure machine performance by using
only tires specified for your machine and inflating them to
correct pressures.
