Tires
WARNING!
Maintaining proper air pressure in the machine’s tires is critical to safe
operation. Correct air pressure provides balance and stability during
transportation and operation. Never exceed maximum inflation pressures
when sealing tire beads on rims.
To add air to the tires remove the stem cap and place the air pump
nozzle securely on the stem. Avoid twisting or bending the stem while
adding air. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure listed on the tire.
After inflating the tire, replace the stem cap. Doing so will prevent loss of
air pressure.
Repairing or replacing a tire should only be done by an individual that
has the proper equipment and training. In the absence of either always
have a qualified tire repair service conduct the maintenance. Detailed tire
mounting instructions, including safety precautions, are available from
the Rubber Manufacturers Association or the tire manufacturer.
The chipper comes with high-grade tires. Replace with a similar grade.
Over inflated tires may cause a tire to explode and result
in serious injury or death. Always maintain a safe
distance away from the tire during inflation. Use a hose
with a pressure gauge. Never over inflate a tire!
Improper support of the chipper during a tire change
may result in the machine tipping over and causing
serious injury or death. Always set up on a flat, solid
surface, and ensure the machine is properly supported.
