Cub Cadet 2166 manual Tire Size Pounds per Square Inch, Mounting Tires on the RIM

TIRES

Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Over- inflation will cause operator discomfort. Under-inflation will cause short tire life.

Improperly inflated tires will also affect the leveling of the mower deck and quality of cut.

Inflate the front and rear tires as shown in the following table:

Tire Size	Pounds per Square Inch
Front Tires
15 x 6–6	14
Rear Tires
20 x 9–8	10

Always ensure that the tire valve caps are in place and tightened securely to prevent loss of air and to protect the valve core and stem.

Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.

MOUNTING TIRES ON THE RIM

WARNING

Do not mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment. Do not inflate the tire above the recommended pressure. Do not stand over the tire assembly when inflating. Accidental over inflation could cause an explosive separation of the tire and rim, which could result in serious injury of death.

After mounting a new or old tire on the rim, inflate it to 20 pounds (maximum) pressure to seat the tire bead on the rim flange. Then deflate the tire to the corrrect operating pressure.

NOTE

After the first 10 hours of operation, check and retorque the rear wheel lug nuts (both sides) to 35 ft-lbs to make sure they are seated in the rim and are properly tightened.
