Tire Inflation Information
Tire Inflation
WARNING
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 recommended tire
pressure.

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 application may vary and should
always be obtained from your tire supplier.
NOTE: Fill tires to the recommended pressures listed
±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 under inflated if the lift truck works in
freezing temperatures. Low pressure shortens the life of
a tire.
