MAINTENANCE

Checking the tyre pressure

The tyre pressure should be 60 kPa (0.6 kp/cm2) all round.

To improve driving the pressure on the rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa (0.4 kp/cm2).

The maximum tyre pressure is 100 kPa (1.0 kp/cm2).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Different tyre pressures on the front tyres will result in the blades cutting the grass at different heights.
