6.7 TIRES AND WHEELS
Tire Damage
For polyurethane foam-filled tires, JLG Industries, Inc. recom-
mends that when any of the following are discovered, measures
must be taken to remove the JLG product from service immedi-
ately and arrangements must be made for replacement of the tire
or tire assembly.
• a smooth, even cut through the cord plies which exceeds
7.5 cm (3 in) in total length
• any tears or rips (ragged edges) in the cord plies which
exceeds 2.5 cm (1 in) in any direction
• any punctures which exceed 2.5 cm in diameter
• any damage to the bead area cords of the tire
If a tire is damaged but is within the above noted criteria, the tire
must be inspected on a daily basis to insure the damage has not
propagated beyond the allowable criteria.
Tire Replacement
JLG recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply and
brand as originally installed on the machine. please refer to the
JLG Parts Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a
particular machine and model. If not using a JLG approved
replacement tire, JLG recommends that replacement tires have
the following characteristics:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater than original
• Wheel diameter, width, and offset dimensions equal to the
original.
• Approved for application by the tire manufacturer (Includ-
ing inflation pressure and maximum tire load).
When selecting and installing a replacement tire, ensure that all
tires are inflated to the pressure recommended by JLG. Due to
size variations between tire brands, both tires on the same axle
should be the same.
Wheel Replacement
The rims installed on each product model have been designed
for stability requirements which consist of track width, tire pres-
sure, and load capacity. Size changes such as rim width, center
piece location, larger or smaller diameter, etc., without written
factory recommendations, may result in an unsafe condition
regarding stability.
