Check Tire Pressure

The tires are over–inflated for shipping. Therefore, re­ lease some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct air pressure in the front and rear tires is 15 psi (1 Bar).

IMPORTANT: Maintain even pressure in all tires to as­ sure a good quality–of–cut and proper machine perfor­ mance. DO NOT UNDER INFLATE.

Check Wheel Nut Torque
