TIRES
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. Only a
qualified person with the proper equipment
should mount a tire on a rim.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate the tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the “Inflation pressure”
section.
See 1. Inflation pressure of tires on page 89.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not use tires other than those approved by
KUBOTA.
• When you intend to mount different size of tires
from equipped ones, consult your dealer about
front drive gear ratio for details.
Excessive wear of tires may occur due to
improper gear ratio.
1. Inflation pressure of tires
Though the tire pressure is factory-set to the prescribed
level, it naturally drops slowly in the course of time.
Thus, check it everyday and inflate as necessary.
