CHECK TIRE PRESSURES

Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at the levels shown in the chart. 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.

Tire	Pressure
Front	25 psi (172 kPa)
Rear	18 psi (124 kPa)	Figure 13. Checking Tire Pressure
