Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the pressure at the valve stem after every
50 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs
first (Figure 44).
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires
at 13 psi (90 kPa).. Uneven tire pressure can cause
uneven cut. Check the tires when they are cold to
get the most accurate pressure reading.
