Servicing wheels and tyres
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
In potentially explosive areas, wheels
and tyres that do not meet explosion-
protection regulations may lead to explo-
sions in the surrounding atmosphere.
– Only use approved, electrically con-
ductive tyre types.
– Observe the explosion-protection reg-
ulations.
WARNING
Risk of accident due to uneven tyre wear!
The stability of the truck is reduced in the event of
unequal tyre wear. The braking distance increases.
The handling characteristics deteriorate.
– Change worn or damaged tyres without delay.
– When changing wheels or tyres, ensure that this
does not cause the truck to tilt to one side (e.g. al-
ways replace right-hand and left-hand wheels at
the same time).
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the use of non-approved
wheels.
The quality of the tyres and of the rims affects the
stability of the truck. Changes must only be made fol-
lowing consultation with the manufacturer.
Rim parts must never be changed and rim parts from
different manufacturers must not be mixed.
– If you wish to use a type of tyre or tyre manufac-
turer that has not been approved by STILL, obtain
approval from STILL prior to use.
– Do not change rim parts and do not mix rim parts
from different manufacturers.
