Unless it is essential for the type of work to be carried out, the use of solid tyres is
not recommended, as this increase the effects of impacts on the transmission and the
operator.
Occasionally, the wheel nuts must me removed in order to apply lubricant.
This operation is very important when the dumper is used in salt water or muddy
environments. Remove the wheel nuts one by one, lubricate each one and screw them
on again.
Retighten the wheels
Weekly or every 50 hours of operation, the wheel nuts should be retightened.
Wheel nut torque loading: 425 Nm.
Tyre pressure:
WARNING!!
Tyre pressure largely effects the steering and stability of the dumper.
A low tyre pressure in the tyres could make them deflate and spin out.
A high pressure in the tyre can make it blow out. Always apply the recommended
pressure. As the tyre pressure is high, do not use a manual pump.
Inflating the wheels could be dangerous if the operation is not carried out with caution. If
possible, it is recommended that this operation be carried out by specialists in the field.
We recommend that the following instructions are followed:
- Park the dumper on flat ground with the engine off.
- Always inflate tyres when they are cold, and to the pressure indicated in the
SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual before beginning work with the
dumper.
- Tyre pressure changes according to the temperature and altitude. Recheck the
pressure if one of these conditions changes.
- Checking the pressure and inflating the tyre, must be carried out with a pressure
meter in good operational condition and equipped with a nozzle which has a
safety clamp, to avoid it slipping from the tyre valve during inflation.
- Use gloves to avoid any injury to the hands by any incorrect function of the air
nozzle.
- If the tyre is being inflated away from the dumper, first protect it with a special
protection cage designed for this purpose.
- We recommend carrying an anti-puncture repair kit with you.
