CLEANING THE TINE AREA
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off immediately instead of after it dries.
We do not recommend the use of pressure washers to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30 p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/ rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
