Care and Service of Tires
It is important
that you maintain tires regularly.
Pay close attention to all caution notices, both
in this manual and on the machine.
To properly care for and service your tires:
• Check tires daily for damage or noticeably
low pressure.
• At least every 50 hours of operation, check
the tire pressure. If the tires contain liquid
ballast, use a special air-water gauge and
measure with valve stem at the bottom.
• A small puncture in the tubeless tire can be
temporarily repaired without dismounting
the tire, thus avoiding down time during a
busy season.
•
Protect tires from exposure to sunlight,
petroleum products, and chemicals.
•
Drive carefully. Try to avoid rocks and
sharp objects.
IMPORTANT! Make all repairs as
quickly as possible. If making a
temporary repair, permanently repair the
tire as soon as possible to prevent
further damage.
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts
can cause serious injury or death. To
safely maintain your tires:
• Do NOT attempt to mount a tire unless
you have the proper equipment and
experience for the job.
•
ALWAYS maintain correct tire
pressure. NEVER inflate the tire
above the recommended pressure.
• NEVER weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a
tire explosion. Welding can structurally
weaken or deform the wheel.
• When you install tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long enough
to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tire
assembly.

Frequently check wheels for low
pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
