Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval/Specification
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Check the pressure at the valve stem after every
25 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs first
(Fig. 27). Check the tires when they are cold to get the
most accurate pressure reading.
Pressure: 20 psi (138 kPa) front and rear
Servicing the Brake
1211
Always set the parking brake when you stop the machine
or leave it unattended. If the parking brake does not hold
securely, an adjustment is required.
Checking the Brake
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to off. Remove the ignition key.
2. Rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to push
the tractor forward. Adjustment is required if the
wheels turn and do not lock; refer to Adjusting the
Brake, page 27.
3. Release the brake and move the drive control rod to
the push position; refer to Pushing the Machine by
Hand, page 21. Wheels should rotate freely.
4. If both conditions are met no adjustment is required.

the brake adjusting nut slightly (Fig. 28).
4. Carefully insert a 0.015 in. (.38 mm) feeler gauge
between the outer brake pad and rotor disk (Fig. 28).
