12. TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST

■Maximum Weight

WARNING

●NEVER overload the tires.

●NEVER add weight in excess of the limits indicated below.

Four 44 lb (20 kg) weights can be added to the tractor.

■Using Liquid Weight for the Tires

WARNING

Avoid injury:

●Installation of liquid ballast requires special implement and training. An exploding tire can lead to injury. Contact your local Cub Cadet

Yanmar dealer or a tire service store to do this task.

●When using the front loader, always put liquid weight in the rear wheels. Failure to do so may result in overturning.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.

●NEVER exceed the maximum load ratings indicated on the tires.

●ALWAYS cover rim completely with the liquid to prevent corrosion, but do not exceed 75%. A larger amount of the liquid causes a limited air space to be left in the tire, and which is too small to absorb shocks, possibly leading to damaged tire.

NOTE:

●We do not recommend that alcohol be used as the ballast. Calcium chloride solution is heavier and less expensive.

●A water solution of calcium chloride offers a safe, economical ballast, and will prevent freezing. If properly used, it will not damage tires, tubes or rims.

●A mixture of 3.5 lb of calcium chloride and approximately 1 US gal of water (0.4 kg/L) will not fully freeze at a temperature above –50°F (–45°C).

●Fill tubeless tires at least to the valve stem height (at least 75%). Smaller amount of the solution results in partly exposed rims, possibly leading to corrosion of the rim.
