[4] TIRE PRESSURE
CAUTION
• Do not attempt mount a tire. This should be done by a qualified person with the proper equipment.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use tires larger than specified.
• When you intend to mount different size of tires from equipped ones, consult your distributor about front
drive gear ratio for detail.
• Excessive wear of tires may occur due to improper gear ratio.
Through the tire pressure is factory-set to the prescribed level, it
naturally drops slowly in the course of time. Thus, check it every day
and inflate as necessary.
To inflate the wheel tires, use an air compressor or hand pump.
■ Recommended Inflation Pressure
• Maintain the pressure shown below for normal use.
• Maintain the maximum pressure in front tires, if using a front
loader of when equipped with lots of front weights.

[5] TIRE LIQUID INJECTION
Auxiliary weights can be used to increase traction force for plowing in fields or clayey grounds.
Another way is to inject water or another liquid, such as a calcium chloride solution in the tires. Water must not be
used in winter since it freezes at 0 °C (32 °F). The calcium chloride solution will not freeze and moreover, affords
higher effect than water since its specific gravity is higher than that of water by about 20 %. Below is an explanation
of calcium chloride solution injection.
IMPORTANT
• Do not fill the front tires with liquid.
