Tyre And Wheel Service
Always have a qualified tyre mechanic service
the tyres and wheels on this machine. If the tyre
has lost all air pressure, take the tyre and wheel
to a tyre specialist for service. The use of correct
equipment and correct service/repair procedures
will prevent accidents.
Tyre Installation
To get the correct traction and cleaning action of
the lugs, the tyres must be installed on the
wheels so the tread pattern is turning as shown.
DO NOT try to remove, repair or install a tractor
tyre on a wheel.

WARNING: Do not remove, install or make
repairs to tyres or rims. Take the tyre and
rim to a tyre specialist where persons with
special training and special safety tools are
available. If the tyre is not correctly
positioned on the rim, or if over inflated, the
tyre bead can loosen on one side and
cause air to leak at high force and can
thrust the tyre in any direction. Explosive
separation of the tyre can cause serious
injury.
WARNING: DO NOT weld to wheel or rim
when a tyre is installed. Welding will cause
an explosive air/gas mixture that will be
ignited with high temperatures. This can
happen to tyres inflated or deflated.
Removing air or breaking bead is not
adequate. The tyre MUST be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.
WARNING: Explosive separation of the
tyre and/or rim parts can cause injury or
death. When tyre service is necessary,
have a qualified tyre mechanic service the
tyre.
