Tires and W
heels
WARNING
Air pressure in pneumatic tires can cause tire
and wheel parts to explode. The explosion of
wheel parts can cause serious injury or death.
Remove all air from the tires before the tires
are removed from the lift truck.
If the air pressure is less than 80% of the cor-
rect air pressure, the tire must be removed be-
fore air is added. Put the tire in a safety cage
when adding air pressure to the tire. Follow
the procedures described in Add Air to Pneu-
matic Tires.
When air is added to the tires, use a remote air
chuck. The person adding air must stand away
and to the side and not in front of the tire.
If the lift truck has pneumatic tires, keep the tires
at the correct air pressure. (See nameplate.) Check
air pressure with a gauge when tires are cold. See
Figure 4. If it is necessary to add air to a tire that is
warm, check one of the other tires on the same axle
and add air to tire that has low pressure so that air
pressures are equal. The air pressure of the warm
tires must always be equal to or greater than the
specification for air pressure for cold tires.
Check tires for damage. Inspect tread and remove
any objects that will cause damage. Check for bent
or damaged rims. Check for loose or missing parts.
Remove any wire, straps, or other material wrapped
around axle.
