NOTE:
• SAE J1034 and SAE J814c are industry standards
that necessitate a minimum glycol content in the
concentrated anti-freeze.
• When the cooling water level drops due to
evaporation, add water only. In case of leakage, add
anti-freeze and water in the specified mixing ratio.
• Anti-freeze absorbs moisture. Keep unused anti-
freeze in a tightly sealed container.
• Do not use radiator cleaning agents when anti-freeze
has been added to the cooling water. (Anti-freeze
contains an anti-corrosive agent, that will react with
the radiator cleaning agent forming sludge which
will affect the engine parts.)

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire. This should be
done by a qualified person with the proper
equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate tires above the recommended pres-
sure shown in the operator’s manual.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use tires larger than specified.
• When you intend to mound 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.

10.1 INFLATION PRESSURE

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.
