Maximum Weight; Using Liquid Weight For The Tires - Cub Cadet Yanmar SC2400 Operator's Manual

■ Maximum Weight

WARNING
●NEVER overload the tires.
●NEVER add weight in excess of the limits
indicated below.
Four 44 lb (20 kg) weights can be added to the tractor.

■ Using Liquid Weight for the Tires

WARNING
Avoid injury:
●Installation of liquid ballast requires special
implement and training. An exploding tire can
lead to injury. Contact your local Cub Cadet
Yanmar dealer or a tire service store to do this
task.
●When using the front loader, always put liquid
weight in the rear wheels. Failure to do so may
result in overturning.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●NEVER exceed the maximum load ratings
indicated on the tires.
●ALWAYS cover rim completely with the liquid to
prevent corrosion, but do not exceed 75%. A larger
amount of the liquid causes a limited air space to
be left in the tire, and which is too small to absorb
shocks, possibly leading to damaged tire.
NOTE:
●We do not recommend that alcohol be used as the
ballast. Calcium chloride solution is heavier and
less expensive.
●A water solution of calcium chloride offers a safe,
economical ballast, and will prevent freezing. If
properly used, it will not damage tires, tubes or
rims.
●A mixture of 3.5 lb of calcium chloride and
approximately 1 US gal of water (0.4 kg/L) will not
fully freeze at a temperature above –50°F (–45°C).
●Fill tubeless tires at least to the valve stem height
(at least 75%). Smaller amount of the solution
results in partly exposed rims, possibly leading to
corrosion of the rim.
