CHASSIS AND
MISCELLANEOUS
Tires
The tires should be maintained at the proper tire
pressure and checked daily. (Figure 5-30) Tires
should be maintained at 100 - 105 PSI. However, various
operating speeds, road conditions, material truck size,
tire options and other operating conditions may require
different tire pressure.
Use 385/65R Duplex Radial tires for this machine.
If a tire appears to be low, measure the pressure to be
sure of proper ination. Protect tires from exposure to
petroleum products and other chemicals.
• Use proper tire mounting equipment and experienced
personnel for tire repair service.
• Carefully inspect any tire and rim assembly for
damage before inating tire. Contact a qualied repair
service if needed.
Figure 5-30. Properly Inated Tire
The rim and tire assemblies for the
wheels are very heavy and must be supported when
lug nuts are removed.
Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s
maximum recommended ination pressure.
Never cut or weld on inated tire/rim
assembly. Heat from welding can cause an increase
in pressure and may result in tire explosion.
Use jack stands on a solid, at surface
to prevent the machine from tipping when it is
raised. Block the remaining wheels using sturdy
wheel chocks. DO NOT lie under the machine while
supported only by a jack. Death or serious injury can
result from improperly supporting a raised machine.
To replace the tires:
1. Loosen lug nuts.
2. Release any air that remains in the tire.
3. Use a jack or hoist to lift the side of the machine.
4. Place supports under the machine.
5. Attach a sling or other support to the tire.
6. Remove the eight (8) lug nuts from the wheel.
7. Release any air that remains in the tire.
8. Using standard tire removal tools, remove the tire
from the wheel.
9. Install new tire on the wheel.
10. Measure PSI using tire pressure gauge and inate
to the proper PSI.
11. Align the mounting holes with the studs on the hub.
12. Reinstall the eight lug nuts.
13. Torque the lug nuts in a diagonal pattern to 300 ft-lb
(407 N.m).
14. Remove supports and lower jack.
