Tire or Rim Service
Always have a qualified tire technician service the tires
and rims for this machine. It is recommended that you
have this technician inflate the tires. To prevent accidents,
use a restraining device (tire inflation cage), correct
equipment and correct procedure. Explosive separation of
the tire (single piece rim) or the tire and/or rim parts
(multi-piece rim) can cause serious injury or death.
Wheel Nut Torque
Use the sequence shown below in the illustration and
tighten the wheel nuts to a torque of 81 to 85 Nm (60 to
70 lb ft).
NOTE:
New machines must have the torque for the wheel
nuts checked after the first 10 hours of operation and
every 10 hours thereafter until the wheel nuts stay tight
.

WARNING
: A tire can explode during inflation
and cause serious injury or death. Never
increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the
bead on the rim. Replace a tire if it has a defect.
Replace a wheel rim which has cracks, wear or
severe rust. Make sure that all the air is removed
from a tire before removing the tire from the
rim. Never use force on an inflated or partially
inflated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly
seated before inflating.
