Check Tire Pressure

CAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death.

Only attempt to mount a tire if you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Have it done by your John Deere dealer or a qualified repair service.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO NOT inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. NEVER cut or weld on an inflated tire or rim assembly, rim, or rim parts. Heat from welding could cause an increase in pressure and may result in a tire explosion.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

Inspect tires and wheels daily. DO NOT operate with low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge having 6.9 kPa (0.07 bar) (1 psi) graduations. If tires contain liquid ballast, use a special air-water gauge and measure with valve stem at bottom.

When inflating tires be sure to lock air chuck to valve stem and stand to front or rear of tire.
