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 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.
Note:
The front tires are semi-pneumatic tires
and do not require air pressure maintenance.
