WHEELS & TYRES
Examine wheels and tyres periodically for correct
inflation pressures, tight wheel bolts, and any physical
damage that may be a detriment to tractor operation and
operator safety. Corect condition prior to tractor opera-
tion.
Tyre Inflation Pressures
FIG. 106: Maintaining correct tyre pressure will help
insure tyre life. Never exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure specified on the tyre. If tyres have deep scratches,
cuts or punctures, the respective tyre should be repaired
or replaced by qualified personnel as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: If necessary to replace any tyre (s), ensure
original tyre size is used. This is particular-
ly true on 4-WD models to ensure correct
amount of front axle overspeed (or "lead")
is maintained.
Wheel Bolt Torque
Periodically check all wheel bolt torques.
Correct bolt torques:
Front Wheel Bolts..........102 Nm (75 ft-lbs)
Rear Wheel Bolts ..........102 Nm (75 ft-lbs)
CAUTION: Correct wheel bolt torque must be
maintained. Installation of front or mid-
mounted implements (ex: loaders, mowers)
impose increased loads and require frequent
checking of wheel bolts.
Front Wheel Spacing
Tread widths may be varied by using the following
methods as applicable. Tread widths are measured tyre
centre to tyre centre as close to the ground as possible.
NOTE: Make certain desired setting is compatible with
implements to be used to prevent clearance and
interference problems.
