engine oil after initial break-in period.

dusty operating conditions.
Check Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Every 25 Hours
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the chart (see Figure 11). Note that these
pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped
on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide
proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire life.
