5.8 Tyres
Tyre wear can vary according to work and ground conditions.
Improper tyre repairs –
Danger of accidents!
☞ All repair work on tyres and rims may only be carried out by authorised
workshops.
☞ We recommend checking the tyres for wear and the wheel nuts for tightness once a
day.
☞ Park the machine on firm and level ground to check and carry out maintenance.
Checking the tyres at regular intervals increases operational safety and the service
life of the tyres, and reduces machine downtimes. Please refer to Chapter
6.10 “Tyres” for the authorised tyre types and the correct tyre pressures.
Replace tyres with new ones after 6 years (irrespective of wear) and dispose of
them correctly. After this period, the rubber no longer has its full capability due to
various chemical and physical processes.
Inspection work
☞ Carry out the following maintenance work once a day:
• Visual check of the tyre condition
• Check the tyre pressure
• Tyre and rim (outside and inside) for damage
• Check for wear
• Remove foreign bodies from the tyre tread
• Remove traces of oil and grease from the tyres
