For shipping purposes, the tires on your unit may be over-inflated. Tire pressure should be reduced before unit is put into operation. Recommended operating tire pressure should be 10 p.s.i.

Check sidewall of tire for manufacturer's maximum tire pressure. If this information does not appear on

your tire, maximum tire pressure under any cir- cumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be maintained on all tires.
