CHECK TIRE PRESSURES
AWARNING
Inflating
or
servicing
tires
can
be
dangerous.
Whenever
possible,
trained
personnel
should
service
and/or
mount
tires.
Do NOT
place
your
fingers
on
the
tire
bead
or
rim
during
inflation;
serious
injury
or
amputation
could
result.
To
avoid
possible
death
or
serious
injury,
follow
the
safety
precautions
below:
D BE SURE the Rim
is
clean and free of rust.
D Lubricate both the tire beads and rim flanges with
a soap solution.
Do
NOT use
oil
or
grease.
D
Use
a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose
and
gauge which allows you to stand clear of the tire
while inflating it.
D NEVER inflate beyond 35 PSI (240 kPa) to seat
the beads.
If
the beads have NOT seated by the
time the pressure reaches 35 PSI, deflate the as-
sembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate
both parts and re-inflate. Inflation pressure be-
yond 35 PSI with unseated beads may break the
bead
or
rim with explosive force sufficient to cause
death
or
serious injury.
D After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pres-
sure to the recommended operating pressure
listed.
D
Do
NOT weld, braze,
or
otherwise attempt to
repair
and
use a damaged rim.

Proper Tire pressure should be maintained equally for
all four Tires to enhance operating stability and extend
Tire life. Refer to the chart for the proper inflation
pressure.
When installing Tires on the Skid Loader, BE SURE
that the Tires are
of
the same size and style on the same
side
of
the Loader.
ALWAYS
replace Tires with the
same size
as
original equipment.
