Tires

WARNING: Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

The recommended operating tire pressure is: approximately 10 psi for the rear tires and approximately 14 psi for the front tires.

Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.
