Checking the Tire Pressure

No Parts Required
Procedure
The tires are over inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce the pressure.
Vary the tire pressure for the front wheels, depending
upon your turf conditions, from a minimum of 55 kPa to a
maximum of 83 kPa (8 to 12 psi).
Vary the tire pressure for the rear wheel from a minimum of
55 kPa to a maximum of 103 kPa (8 to 15 psi).
