Figure PM-53
Rear tires usually wear faster than front tires. To keep tire
wear even, move the front tires to the rear and rear tires
to the front [Figure PM-53].
It is important to keep the same size tires on each side of
the loader. If different sizes are used, each tire will be
turning at a different rate and cause excessive wear. The
tread bars of all the tires must face the same direction.
Recommended tire pressure must be maintained to avoid
excessive tire wear and loss of stability and handling
capability. Check for correct pressure before operating
the loader.
Mounting
Tires are to be repaired only by an authorized person
using the proper procedures and safe equipment.
Tires and rims must always be checked for correct size
before mounting. Check rim and tire bead for damage.
The rim flange must be cleaned and free of rust.
The tire bead and rim flange must be lubricated with a
rubber lubricant before mounting the tire.
Avoid excessive pressure which can rupture the tire and
cause serious injury or death.
During inflation of the tire, check the tire pressure
frequently to avoid over inflation.
