CHECK TIRE PRESSURES

Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and main- tained 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	12-15 psi (83-104 kPa)
Rear	6-8 psi (41-55 kPa)
