TIRES

Upon receiving your mower, check air pressure in the tires and adjust according
to specifications.

Main Frame Tires – 32 PSI

Never inflate tires beyond 35 pounds per square inch to seat
beads. Inflation beyond 35 PSI pressure before seating the bead
may break the bead or even the rim with an explosive force. If

beads have not seated by the time the pressure has reached 35 PSI, deflate the
assembly, move tire to another position on the rim and re-lubricate. Inflate tire and
inspect both sides of the tires to be sure beads are seated properly. If not, deflate
tire, unseat beads and repeat the above mounting procedure. After properly seating
beads adjust to pressure recommended.
