and wheels.
WARNING
Failure to maintain correct tire pressure may result
in tire failure and loss of control, resulting in
property damage and serious injury or death.
• Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure
proper inflation. If the tires are not inflated to
the correct pressure, they will wear prematurely.
• Inspect the tire condition before towing and
after any operating accident.
The DOT tire information is located on the side
of each tire. This information gives load and speed
ratings. Replacement tires should have the same
or better ratings. For more information go to
http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Tires.
Note: The various machines in this manual have different
weights; refer to Specifications (page 14) to ensure that the
tires on your machine meet or exceed the weight requirements
of your machine.
1. Visually inspect the tires for damage and wear (Figure

2. Ensure that the tires are inflated to the correct air
pressure. The following Tire Air Pressure table shows
the appropriate air pressure for the tires as installed at
the factory.
Important: Always check the information
on the actual tires for the correct air pressure
requirement.
Important: The most common cause of tire
trouble is underinflation. Maintain full air
pressure.
