Tire Inflation Information
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 recommended tire
pressure.
Tire Shipping Pressure
The inflation pressures shown in the following chart
are cold inflation shipping pressures for tires on
DOOSAN lift trucks.
The operating inflation pressure is based on the
weight of a ready-to-work lift truck without
attachments, at rated payload, and in average
operating conditions. Pressures for each application
may vary and should always be obtained you’re
your tire supplier.
Adjusted Inflation Pressures
A tire inflation in a warm shop area, 18°C to 21°C
(65°F to 70°F), will be underinflated if the lift truck
works in freezing temperatures. Low pressure
shortens the life of a tire.
