Check Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main- tained at the levels shown in the chart (see Figure 10). 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.
