MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8
8.15 TYRES ______________________________________________________________
Keep the tyres correctly inflated to increase tyre life. Inspect the tread wear.
Check the tyre pressure each day, while the tyres are cool. Use an accurate low-pressure tyre gauge.
Keep tyres inflated at the correct pressure (see section 8.1)
8.16 WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE________________________________________
Remove dirt, grease and oil from the stud threads. Do not lubricate threads.
Put the wheel on the hub. Inspect the wheel to make sure of full contact
between surface of wheel and hub.
Tighten all hardware with your fingers, then torque hardware in the order
shown. When possible, tighten nuts in the top position.
Check and torque hardware each day until torque is kept at 85-95 ft.lb. (115-
128Nm).
CAUTION
DO NOT try to put a tyre on a rim unless you have the correct training, tools and experience. Incorrect
mounting can cause an explosion which can cause injury.
WARNING
Make sure the mower is parked on a solid and level surface. Never work on a mower that is supported
only by the jack. Always use jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the mower is lifted, put the chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are
not lifted.
