4.Readjust if necessary to provide smooth operation throughout entire range of motion.

5.Lubricate the Chute Ring and Worm Assembly as needed

CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE

The air pressure in each tire (Figure 35) should be 20 psi (136 kPa) and should be equal for both tires for best per- formance. Be sure to keep caps on valves to prevent entry of debris into the valve stem when tires are filled.
