any off-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the
work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See
the Emissions Control Statements.

Checking Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically (see
Figure 16), and maintained at the levels shown in
the Specifications chart. Note that these pressures may
differ slightly from the "Max Inflation" stamped on the side-
wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction
and extend tire life.
