CASTER WHEELS
The two caster wheels are mounted on the front of the
flail mower frame. The wheels can be removed,
inspected, and installed using Figure 12E-4.
Maintain air pressure in caster tires at 22-24 psi (152-
165 kPa) to maintain cutting height. Check air pressure
while tires are cool. Inflate tires equally to maintain cut-
ting height from side to side.

WARNING
Never open or loosen hydraulic lines under pres-
sure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin. If fluid is
injected into the skin it must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury, or gangrene may result.
