Replacing tyres
To replace tyres, preferably contact a specialist and follow the recommendations below.
1. Clean and check the rims before fitting.
2. Check that the diameters of the rims correspond exactly with those of the tyres.
3. Check the condition of the insides of the tyres. Make any possible repairs before fitting the inner tubes. Never re-use
defective tyres.
4. Clean the inside of the tyres before fitting the inner tubes.
5. Before fitting, grease the edges of the tyres and the rim flanges with a lubricant or anti-corrosion product. Never use a
petroleum based lubricant which could damage the tyres. With the appropriate lubricant, a tyre will never slip on the
rim.
6. When fitting, use suitable tools recommended by the tyre manufacturer.
7. Check that the tyre is centred and that its edges fit perfectly against the rim. Otherwise there is a risk of tearing the
edge of the tyre.
8. Never inflate a tyre beyond its recommended pressure. Refer to section Tyre specifications page 78
9. Never put inner tubes inside tubeless tyres.

DANGER! Failure to follow tyre fitting recommendations resulting in the poor fitting of tyres on rims could cause the
tyre to burst with a risk of personal, or even fatal injury.
€
DANGER! Never use damaged tyres or rims. The use of damaged, broken, deformed or re-welded rims is strictly
prohibited.
Replacing wear rings on the lifting frame
Check wear rings regularly and replace them before they wear through.
1. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor and unfold the boom to the
working position.
2. Lift the central section of the boom using appropriate lifting
equipment and hold it so that the arms of the parallelogram are no
longer supporting the load
3. Remove screws (A) and pins (B) on one of the upper arms of the
parallelogram, then replace the worn rings.
4. Re-fit the arm.
5. Proceed similarly for the other upper arm.
6. The lower arms will be dismounted at the same time.
7. Grease all greasing connectors.
8. Remove the lifting equipment.
Replacing wear rings on the trailing hitch
If you notice too much play in the pins, the wear rings should be replaced. Contact your HARDI EVRARD dealer.
