neutral position. If not, damage to the transmission
may result.

TYRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure must be considered when adding
weight to the tractor. The following “TYRE
INFLATION vs. PERMISSIBLE LOAD” table lists
the tire size available and shows the maximum load
the tire can carry for a given air pressure. Note that
the load capacities decrease as inflation pressures
decrease.
TYRES
Inflation and Service
l Upon receiving your tractor, check the air
pressure in the tires as indicated in the tables.
l Check the tire pressure every 50 hours, or
weekly.
l Tire inflation pressure affects the amount of
weight which a tire may carry. Locate the tires
for your tractor in the “ TIRE INFLATION vs.
PERMISSIBLE LOAD” chart below. Do not
over or under inflate the tires.
l Do not Inflate a tire above the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure shown on the tire or the
maximum pressure shown in the “TIRE
INFLATION vs. PERMISSIBLE LOAD” chart,
below if the tire is not marked.
l Do not inflate a tire that has been run flat or
seriously under-inflated until the tire has been
inspected for damage by a qualified person.
l When checking tire pressure, inspect tire for
damaged side walls and tread cuts. Neglected
damage will lead to early tire failure.
WARNING: Inflating or servicing tires
can be dangerous. Trained personnel
should be called to service and/or
mount tires when possible. In any
event to avoid possible serious or fatal
injury, follow the safety precautions
below.
l Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
l Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges with
soap solution. Do not use oil or grease.
l Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose
and gauge which allows the operator to stand
clear of the tire while inflating it.
l NEVER INFLATE TO OVER 35 psi (241 kpa).
TO SEAT BEADS. If beads have not seated
by time pressure reaches 35 psi, deflate the
assembly, reposition tire on rim, relubricate
both tire beads and rim flanges and re-inflate.
Inflation beyond 35 psi with unseated beads
may break the bead or rim with explosive
force sufficient to cause serious injury.
l After seating the beads, adjust inflation
pressure to recommended operating
pressure.
l Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is mounted
on the tractor or is secured so that it will not
move if the tire or rim should suddenly fail.
l Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair, or use a
damaged rim.
l Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or
highway.
l Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to
support the tractor while repairing tires.
l Insure jack has adequate capacity to lift your
tractor.
l Insure jack is placed on a firm level surface.
l Do not put any part of your body under the
tractor or start the engine while the tractor is
on the jack.
NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum load listed.
Also do not under-inflate or over-inflate the tyres.
