Tire Tread Condition
0732-649
The use of worn-out tires on this vehicle
is very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this min-
imum specification.
Tire Replacement
This vehicle has low-pressure tubeless
tires. Have this maintenance performed
by an authorized Toro ROV dealer or a
qualified tire repair station.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a
cut or if the puncture cannot be repaired
using a plug, the tire must be replaced.
When operating the vehicle in areas
where transportation or service facilities
are not readily available, it is strongly
recommended to carry a plug-type repair
kit and a tire pump along.
