loads. T
o ensure operational safety, the following points are to be considered:
• All wheels and tires must comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer.
• Wheels must not be bent or have inadmissible bumps.
• Check the wheels at their sides on the inside and outside. In case of damage (bumps, scratches),
replace them immediately.
• Prior to every use, check the tire pressure and the function of the brakes.
• Have the brake pads replaced in time. All brake pads must comply with the technical
requirements specified by the manufacturer.
• To prevent contamination of the wheel bearings, they must always be covered by dust covers.
• If a Certificate of Conformity for EU type approval (as per EU directive 167/2013) was issued for
the machine, the wheels specified in the Certificate of Conformity are permissible.
• Always observe the specification of the approved wheels (load bearing capacity, tire pressure).
• Check the brake pads when changing the tires and when using tires other than those approved by
the manufacturer. See 4.3.3 Wheels and tires
