Check Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Every 25 Hours

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at the levels shown in the chart (see Figure 11). Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire life.

Size	PSI	bar
22 x 10,0-8	10	0,68
20 x 8,0-8	10	0,68
15 x 6,0-6	12-14	0,82-0,96
