6.5 TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire Wear and Damage
The tire and rim assemblies installed on machines have been
approved by the tire manufacturer for applications in which
those products are intended to be used. The tire and rims
installed on each product model have been designed for sta-
bility requirements, which consist of track width, tire com-
pound, and load capacity. Tire changes such as rim width,
centerpiece location, larger or smaller diameter, tire com-
pound, etc., without written manufacturers approval, could
result in an unsafe condition regarding stability.
The tires and rims installed on machines are to be inspected
daily as part of the daily walk-around inspection. JLG requires
that the daily walk-around inspection be performed at each
operator change during a shift and at each shift change.
Wheel and Tire Replacement
JLG recommends that any replacement tire be the same size
and brand as originally installed on the machine or offered by
JLG as an approved replacement. Please refer to the JLG Parts
Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a partic-
ular machine model.
If any of the following is discovered during tire inspection,
measures must be taken to remove the JLG product from ser-
vice immediately. Arrangements must be made for replace-
ment of the tire(s) or tire assembly(s). Both tires/wheels on the
same axle must be replaced:
• If the overall diameter of the tire is less than one of the fol-
lowing:
Rear Wheel Ø254 - Minimum Ø 245 mm (9.6 in)
Caster Wheel Ø125 - Minimum Ø 120 mm (4.7 in)
Drive Wheel Ø230 - Minimum Ø 220 mm (8.7 in)
Ø 220 minimum is reached when dimension H= 316 mm (12.4 in)
