NOTE
Tires are deflated to decrease height of machine. If a tire pressure gage is not available, a measurement
can be taken, from ground to bottom dead center (BDC) of rim, to determine if tire has been adequately
deflated.
Distance between ground and BDC of rim on each front tire should be 11.5 in. (29.2 cm). Distance
between ground and BDC of rim on each rear tire should be 14.25 in. (36.2 cm).
16.
Reduce tire inflation pressure to 17 psi (117 kPa) on front tires and 24 psi (165 kPa) on rear tires, using repair tool (Item
5U, Table 1, WP 0023 00).
17.
Cover all lights with adhesive tape (Item 21, WP 0025 00).
CAUTION
Exhaust pipe must be taped closed to prevent wind from entering exhaust system and causing turbocharger
to spin, without the benefit of lubrication. Failure to cover exhaust pipe may damage turbocharger.
18.
Use duct tape (Item 20, WP 0025 00) to cover exhaust extension.
19.
Install instrument panel covers (WP 0005 00).
