Inspect Tires

Service Interval—Weekly/50 Hours

  • Check tires daily for damage or noticeably low pressure.
  • Have any cuts or breaks repaired as soon as possible.
  • Protect tires from exposure to sunlight, petroleum products and chemicals.
  • Drive carefully. Try to avoid rocks and sharp objects.

    IMPORTANT: Minimum pressures may be used only for light loads and only if tractor has no added weight. If you install ballast or mounted implements, or if you pull heavy loads, increase pressure.

  • Check tires with an accurate gauge having 10 kPa (0.1 bar) (1 psi) graduations. If tires contain liquid ballast, use a special air-water gauge and measure with valve stem positioned toward bottom.

Refer to TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CHART in Wheels, Tires and Treads section.
