Filling Procedure
STEP 1 (Mixing The Solution)
Add the correct amount of calcium chloride
(CaCl
2
) into the correct amount of water, see
previous charts for the required degree of
protection from freezing.
STEP 2
Raise one side of the tractor and turn the wheel
so that the valve is at the top, see illustration
opposite.
STEP 3
Remove the valve core and connect the hand
pump.
STEP 4
Measure the amount of solution added to the tyre
and use the figures in the previous charts to
calculate the weight added.
STEP 5
When sufficient weight has been added, remove
the pump. Install the valve core. Inflate the tyre to
the correct pressure.
NOTE: When liquid ballast is used, inflate the tyres
0.14 bar (2 psi) more than the recommended
pressure. This will compensate for aeration that
occurs when the tyre is in motion.
