TIRE INFLATION
NOTE: Upon receiving your Combine immediately
adjust the air pressure in the tires as indicated in the
table.
Keep the tires properly inflated to the pressure
shown in the inflation pressure tables for the front
and rear tires. Both under inflation and over inflation
are detrimental to tire life. Don’t reinflate a tire that
has been run flat or when there is obvious or
suspected damage to the tire or wheel components.
Check the tire pressure weekly or after 50 hours of
operation.
When Combines are transported on a carrier, such
as a railroad car or trailer, the tires are inflated to 207
kPa (30 PSI) to make possible rigid blocking and to
prevent bouncing. Pressure must be decreased to
operating pressure before the Combine is put into
service.
Make sure that the tire valve caps are in place and
are tightened securely to prevent loss of air and
protect the valve core and stem.
Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The
heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting
in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken
or deform the wheel.
Never introduce a flammable substance into a tire
BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER MOUNTING. This
may result in internal tire damage or fire, rim damage
or a potentially dangerous vapor remaining in the tire.
Any of these conditions could cause serious personal
injury during the mounting and inflating procedure.
76 x 50-32 HF3 drive flotation tires are shipped loose
on trailer to dealer. They are shipped with 207 kPa
(30 PSI) inflation to avoid any handling damage. After
installing on Combine, deflate tires to the operating
inflation pressure of 110 kPa (16 PSI). Field
operation of 110 kPa (16 PSI) is required for optimum
performance.
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 tires.

WARNING: When inflating tires, use a clip on air chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side and NOT in front or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
M371
WARNING: A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or death. Never increase air
pressure beyond 35 PSI (2.4 bar) 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.
