ο wheel nuts for firm seating.
ο tyre pressures.
• Only use the tyres and wheels which we have specified (see
page 39).
• Repair work on tyres must only be carried out by specialists us-
ing suitable assembly tools.
• Tyre fitting requires sufficient skills and proper assembly tools.
• Use the jack only at the jacking points indicated.
12.7.1 Tyre pressures
• The required tyre pressure is dependent on
ο tyre size.
ο tyre loading capacity.
ο the travel speed
• The operational performance of the tyres is reduced
ο by overloading.
ο if the tyre pressure is too low.
ο if the tyre pressure is too high.
• Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres are cold, i.e. be-
fore starting a run.
• The difference in pressure between the tyres on one axle must
be no greater than 0.1 bar.
• Tyre pressure can be raised by up to 1 bar after a fast run or in
warm weather. Tyre pressure should on no account be reduced
as it is then too low when the tyres cool down.
