OPERATION
Tire Size and Matching requirements - Center Axle
Tire assemblies when mounted on center axle duals should always be within limits listed.
Laminated Tires - Maximum difference between tire diameters on a center axle should be 1/2 inch or less.
Foam Filled Airplane Tires - Maximum difference between tire diameters on a center axle should be 1 inch or
less.
When replacing a tire assembly on center axle always check diameters to make sure tires fall within allowed
range for maximum tire and wheel life. It may be necessary to move one or more tires from wing axles to
remain within size limit.
12.1 Tire and Wheels
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and
the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should
not exceed 15 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Laminated tires
must be installed such that the rubber segments lay with the ground.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the
mower is frequently transported between locations.
Pneumatic Tires Implement tires are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture
proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires.
Check side wall of tire for proper inflation pressure. DO NOT over-inflate. OPS-R-0035
