TIRES AND RIMS
UNDERINFLATI0N
To little air pressure increases deflection, causes the tire to wipe and scuff over the road, results in
extra strain on the tire and increases the chance of bruising.
OVERINFLATION
Overinflation reduces the tire deflection and the tire contact area causing the tire to ride on the
crown and results in rapid wear in the center of the tread.
CHANGING
WARNING! Tire and rim repairs must be done by specially trained persons using
special safety tools. An improperly repaired tire or rim can separate suddenly
and cause serious injury.
Wheel rim components should be checked for damage and cracks. Damaged parts must be
replaced, NOT repaired. Disassembly of tubeless tire of this size is very difficult. Therefore, do not
replace parts yourself. Contact Construction Equipment Authorized Distributor or tire distributor
where persons with special training and safety tools are available.

5.18.1. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
WARNING! When it is necessary to make any checks or adjustments with the
engine running, use two people. A trained operator must be at the controls to
safeguard the mechanic making the checks or adjustments. Be sure the
transmission shift lever is locked in neutral (N), the frame halves are locked
together and the parking brake is applied.

1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Lock the transmission in "N" (neutral), lower the bucket to the ground and apply the parking
brake.
3. Stop the engine and install the frame locking bar.
4. Start the engine and let it run at low idle.
5. Check that oil can be seen in the top half of sight gauge 1, Fig. 5.53. in the cutout on the right
side of the rear frame close to the transmission. The transmission oil level is correct when the
ball is 10 mm above the middle of sight gauge with the engine running at low idle.
