Check Torque Of Wheel Nuts
Warning
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in failure or loss of wheel and
may result in personal injury.
Torque the front and rear wheel nuts to
45–65 ft.-lb. after 1–4 hours of operation and again
after 10 hours of operation. Torque every 200
hours thereafter.
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to assure proper
levels.
Maximum air pressure in front tires is 20 psi and rear (24")
tires is 18 psi.
1. The air pressure needed is determined by the payload
carried.
2. The lower the air pressure, the less the compaction and
tire marks are minimized. Lower pressure should not be
used for heavy payloads at high speeds. Tire damage
may result.
3. Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads at
higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
Important
When replacing tires, on the 4wd vehicle,
only use replacements approved for the Workman. Use of
tires not approved may cause turf damage or accelerated
drive train damage.
Check Brake Fluid
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory filled
with "DOT 3" brake fluid. Check level before engine is
first started and every 8 hours or daily, thereafter.
1. Park machine on a level surface.
2. Loosen knob securing cup holder to dash (Fig. 20).
Remove cup holder from dash.
1. Cup holder
3. Fluid level should be up to FULL line on reservoir.
1. Brake fluid reservoir
4. If fluid level is low, clean area around cap, remove
reservoir cap and fill to proper level. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
5. Reinstall cup holder to dash.
Check Fan Belt Tension
Check belt for wear, cracking or improper tension. Check
tension by depressing belt at mid span of fan and drive
shaft pulleys with 22 lbs. of force. A new belt should
deflect .48–.58 in. A used belt should deflect .55–.65 in. If
deflection is incorrect, proceed to page 43 for tensioning
procedure. If correct, continue operation.
Important
Improper belt tension may result in
increased steering effort.
