11. Wheels and tyres :
Regularly check wheel clamps and tyre pressure
Inflation
Correct tyre pressure gives optimum traction, comfort and performance.Furthermore the tyres
will have a longer active life and surfaces with which they come into contact will suffer less
damage.
We strongly advise against :
-Under-inflation of tyres which can deform the shape and entail the vehicle being put
out of service.
-Over-inflation, which lowers surface contact leading to a loss of traction. In addition the
tyre body is more easily susceptible to bumps.
Assembly
Assemble the tyres on the rims intended for their positioning.
Use only clean rims in a good state of repair, and work on clean surfaces.
Use only appropriate tools for tyres and rims.
To facilitate assembly and disassembly, lubricate the bases (green) and the raised edges
(black) with a suitable product, following the outline below.
Fill a new tyre tube with new air. Use an inner tube in keeping with the spread of the tyre .
After mounting a tyre, ensure it is properly centred on the rim : if this is not the case, then
inflate, deflate and reinflate the tyre until exact centring has been achieved. Always bear in
mind the maximum tyre bead installation pressure on the rims of 2.5bars (35 p.s.i)
pressure.Then adjust to service or out of service pressure.
When transporting engines by road, rail or ship, it is necessary to inflate tyres to 2.5 bars
(35 p.s.i) in order not to negatively impact mooring systems.
