B. TIRE PRESSURES AND BALLAST
REQUIREMENTS
I. TIRE
PRESSURES
Measure tire pressure with a gauge.
o
Bar - 32 psi (221 kPa)
o
Turf - 20 psi (138 kPa)
o
Caster - 10 psi (69 kPa)
II. BALLAST
REQUIREMENTS
Fluid ballasting of rear caster tires is
recommended to provide adequate machine
stability when using large headers on the
windrower.
Also, the stability of machine varies with different
attachments, windrower options, terrain and
Operator’s driving technique.
Ballast capability per tire is at a maximum fill of
75%, or when fluid is level with valve stem when
the stem is positioned at the “12 o’clock” position.
Fluid can be added to any level up to maximum
fill, and always add an equal amount of fluid on
both sides.
