Perform Maintenance Safely
WARNING! Explosive separation of a tire and/or rim
parts can cause serious injury or death. Always follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations or see your
tire supplier.
Do not inate the tires above the recommended
pressure. Be sure to replace tire ballast if equipped. See
manufacturer’s specications for ballast requirements.
Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
A rise in tire pressure during operation is normal, and
should NOT be reduced.
When adding air to a tire, do so from a distance. Use
a long hose with self-attaching chuck. Always stand
behind tread when adjusting tire pressure.
Do not inate tires with ammable gases or from
systems using an alcohol injector.
Never cut or weld on a wheel with an inated
tire mounted on it. This could cause explosive
decompression.
WARNING! Explosive separation of a tire and/or rim
parts can cause serious injury or death. Always use
a safety cage or cable restraints when inflating a
repaired tire. Inate the tire from a distance, using a
long hose with self-attaching chuck. Stand behind the
tread; keep the area to the side of the tire clear of other

Tire, Wheel and Track Maintenance (continued)
WARNING! The types of rims and tires usually
found on this equipment require special care when
servicing to prevent death or serious injury.
Important factors to remember:
— Never overinate a tire—it could explode.
— Punctures that could have allowed the ballast in a tire
to leak out must be repaired and the tire relled with
ballast (if required) before the compact tool carrier is
put back into operation.
— Never reinate a tire that has been run at or
seriously underinated without removing the tire from
the wheel. Have the tire and rim closely inspected for
damage before remounting.
— Clean the area around all wheel lug nuts or bolts and
periodically check the torque per the manufacturer’s
specications until the torque value stabilizes, then
check at regularly scheduled intervals.
— Never weld on a wheel or rim.
— Check that the tire size and rim are correctly
matched.
— When replacing the tires, ensure the tires are of the
appropriate rating specied by the manufacturer.
