Tire Inflation
Personal injury or death could result when
tires are inflated incorrectly.
Use a self - attaching inflation chuck and stand
behind the tread when inflating a tire.
Proper inflation equipment, and training in
using the equipment, are necessary to avoid
overinflation. A tire blowout or rim failure can
result from improper or misused equipment.
NOTICE
Set the tire inflation equipment regulator at no
more than 140 kPa (20 psi) over the recom-
mended tire pressure.
Tire Shipping Pressure
The tire inflation pressures shown in the following
chart are cold inflation shipping pressures.

1
Standard tire, ply rating and inflation pressures.
The operating inflation pressure is based on the
weight of a ready - to - work machine without
attachments, at rated payload, and in average
operating conditions. Pressures for each applica-
tion may vary and should always be obtained from
your tire supplier.
NOTE
:
Fill tires to the recommended pressures
listed
L
35 kpa (5 psi). Tires can be filled with
nitrogen.
Tire Inflation Pressures Adjustment
A tire inflation in a warm shop area, 18¡ to 21¡C
(65¡ to 70¡F), will be underinflated if the lift truck
works in freezing temperatures. Low pressure
shortens the life of a tire.
