Inflation pressure and condition of tires
Condi tion:
Check tires for even tread wear. depth of tread (to comply with legal
requ ireme nts) and exterio r damage Remove foreign bodies from tread and
between the tires (twin wheels)
If required , interchange front and rear wheels (e. g. if trea d edges are feathered).
The direction of rotation of the wheels should remain the same.
For whee l change, refer to sec tion 5.9.3.
Inflation pressure :
Check inflation pressure (including spare wheel) on cold tires.
The pressure differe ntial of the tires on one axle must not exceed
0.1 bar ( 1 .4 psi).
If the inflation pressure 1s too low on 1nd1v1dual tires, check valves , wheels and
tires for leaks.
Caution: Too low an inflation pressure reduces operational safety and tire service
life.
High speed operation or hot weather may increase the inflation pressure as much
as
1 bar (14 psi). Never bleed any arr since the pressure will othe rwise drop
below specificat ions . For tires and inflat ion pressure , refer to ,,tire pressure chart"
(last page ).
Seat belts
The inert ia reel must stop the seat belt unwinding further if the vehic le
- is braked or accelerated
- is corne ring
- or when the belt is pulled out quickly .
Inspect belts visua lly for damage.
Renew damaged seat belts.
