TIRES
NOTE: Keep tires properly inflated at all times. For
proper tire inflation when working under various condi-

gauge for accurate pressure readings.
Check tire pressure at least once a month. Over
inflation may cause operator discomfort and excessive
tire tracks on lawns or soft surfaces, while under
inflation causes short tire life.
NOTE: After checking and/or inflating, replace and
tighten valve caps to prevent air loss.
