The recommended inflation level for the pneumatic supports of these mowers’ wheels is a crucial factor in optimal performance and longevity. This value, typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), ensures proper contact with the ground and contributes to even weight distribution across the machine. These machines often have different recommended values for the front and rear wheels due to variations in weight distribution and operational stresses.
Maintaining the correct inflation level provides several advantages. Proper support pressure enhances traction, leading to improved maneuverability and cutting efficiency, especially on uneven terrain. Moreover, it reduces stress on the mower’s components, such as the axles, spindles, and frame, ultimately extending the equipment’s service life. Historically, manufacturers have provided these specifications to balance ride comfort, ground contact, and structural integrity.
