Tires
WARNING!
4.24
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 ination 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.
Inate the tire to the recommended pressure listed on the tire. After inating
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
qualied 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 inated tires may cause a tire to explode and result in
serious injury or death. Always maintain a safe distance
away from the tire during ination. Use a hose with a
pressure gauge. Never over inate 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 at, solid surface and
ensure the machine is properly supported.
