Wheels and Tires
The correct tire pressure is important in maintaining desired cutting height.
Pressure should be 35–45 psi
(240–310 kPa). Use the lower end of this range for rough ground.
DANGER
• Never install a tube in a cracked wheel rim.
• Never weld a wheel rim.
• Make sure all the air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim.
• Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly seated before
inflating to operating pressure.
• Do NOT remove, install or make repairs to a tire on a rim unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.
• If the tire is not in correct position on the rim, or if too full of air, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in any
direction, endangering anyone in the area.
• Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure as per label on the tire.
The tire should be replaced when worn or if it gets damaged
beyond repair.
