Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check tire pressure.
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven cut.
Check the pressure at the valve stem (Figure 45). Check
the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate
pressure reading.
Rear Tires: 13 psi (90 kPa)
Front Tires (caster wheels): 35 psi (241 kPa)
