The above illustrations show danger areas caused by
exploding tires and/or rim parts. KEEP YOURSELF AND
OTHERS OUT OF THESE DANGER AREAS.
Correct Methods for Adding Air or
Servicing Tires
Check the air pressure and the condition of the tires every
50 hours of operation. See Tire Pressure in this manual
for the correct tire air pressure.
Adding Air to the Tires
This procedure is only for adding air to the tire. If the tire
has lost most or all of the air, do the following:
B790490R
1. Before you add air, have the wheel correctly installed
on the machine or put the wheel in a restraining
device (tire inflation cage).
2. Use an air hose with remote shutoff valve and a self-
locking air chuck.
RT160038
3. Stand behind the tread of the tire and make sure all
persons are away from the side of the tire before you
start to add air.
4. Inflate the tire to the recommended air pressure. DO
NOT inflate the tire more than the recommended
pressure specified for the size tires you have.
WARNING
: DO NOT weld to wheel or rim when
a tire is installed. Welding will cause an explosive
air/gas mixture that will be ignited with high
temperatures. This can happen to tires inflated
or deflated. Removing air or breaking bead is not
adequate. Tire MUST be completely removed
from the rim prior to welding.
WARNING
: Explosive separation of the tire
and/or rim parts can cause injury or death.
When tire service is necessary, have a qualified
tire mechanic service the tire.
WARNING
: Exploding tires and/or rim parts
can cause injury or death. Keep yourself and
others out of the DANGER AREA. Stand on the
tread side of the tire. Always use the correct air
pressure and follow the instructions in this
manual for adding air or servicing the tires.
KEEP OUT OF THE DANGER AREAS!
