Check Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at
the levels shown in the chart. Note that these pressures may
differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped on the side-wall
of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction,
improve cut quality, and extend tire life.

line is acceptable.)
3. If the level is low in either or both reservoirs, bring the level
up by adding 20W-50 conventional detergent motor oil.
WARNING
