Checking the condition and wear of the
tyres
– Remove any foreign bodies embedded in
the tyres (1).
The level of wear exhibited by tyres on the
same axle must be approximately the same.
Superelastic tyres and solid rubber tyres can
be worn down to the "60J wear limit" (2).
If the truck is to be used in winter conditions in
areas where the StVZO (German Road Traffic
Licensing Regulations) applies, the profile
must be at least 4 mm.
Superelastic tyres may then only be operated
as far as the "60J wear limit" (2) if their profile
is re-cut and at least 4 mm deep.
Checking wheel fastenings
– Check that the wheel-fastening screws (3)
of the drive axle and the wheel-fastening
nuts of the steering axle are securely in
place and re-tighten as necessary.
– Observe the torques specified in the "main-
tenance data table".
Servicing the steering axle
– Park the truck safely.
Lubricate the steering axle
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Dispose of old grease and contaminated devi-
ces in accordance with the national regula-
tions for the country in which the truck is being
used.
The steering arms of the steering axle each
have two lubricating nipples per side.
– Lubricate the lubricating nipples with grease
in accordance with the "maintenance data
table".
If, after a few strokes, there is no longer any
old grease escaping, actuate the steering.
