TYRES - PRESSURE CHECK
Apply the right tyre pressure for each axle and fore-
seen application.
Do not keep tyres pressure lower than the values
due, so as not to overheat the tyres, because this
could cause:
- tyre breaks;
- tread damage;
- inner damage;
- uneven wear and short life.
S CAUTION S
Before inflating the tyres, check the tyres, rims and
rim parts for damage, penetrated foreign objects
and proper fitting.
Check the tyre inflation pressure only when the
tyres are cold, as when they are warm, the pres-
sures indicated are higher than usual.
Use inflation equipment with long filling hose, self-
fixing nozzle and pressure gauge.
Inflate the tyres only with compressed ambient air.
Never use inflammable gases: risk of explosion!
During tyre inflation, do not stand near the tyre and
always in the plane of the tyre tread.
Watch the tyre and the pressure gauge of the inflat-
ing equipment permanently during the inflation and
never exceed the prescribed tyre pressures.
If available, place a safety cage around the wheel.
Make sure that nobody is standing near the tyre
when it is being inflated.
Always inflate tyres to the prescribed pressure:
- excessive tyres pressure means poor handling
properties off the road and a risk of bursting tyres;
- insufficient pressure means increased wear on
the tyres and inadequate stability of the machine.
