Front end weights must NOT be used while loader is on the tractor.
Observe tractor preparation guide in loader Operator Manual. Pay particular attention to “minimum tread settings” information in your Mounting Kit Installation Instructions.
TRACTOR REAR TIRES - Maintain equal pressure in each of the rear tires. Use the widest recommend- ed rear wheel setting for maximum stability.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the tires on your tractor. See Tire and Wheel Specifications in tractor Operator Manual for more information.
