Checking the Tire Pressure
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause an uneven cut.
Check the pressure at the valve stem after every
50 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs first
(Fig. 39). Check the tires when they are cold to get the most
accurate pressure reading.
Pressure: 13 psi (90 kPa) drive wheels and caster wheels

Servicing the Hydraulic System
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluid level:
•
Before the engine is first started
•
After the first 8 operating hours
•
After every 50 operating hours
Fluid Type: Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil or
equivalent synthetic oil.
Important
Use the specified oil or equivalent. Other
fluids could cause system damage.
Hydraulic System Oil Capacity: 67 oz. (2.0 l)
Note: There are 2 ways of checking the hydraulic oil. One
is for warm oil and the other for cold oil. The baffle inside
the tank has 2 levels depending on whether the oil is warm
or cold.
