Tyres
DANGER
Risk of accident if different tyres are used!
Different tyres adversely affect the track behaviour
and the stability of the truck.
Only fit one type of tyre onto the truck, e.g. only
pneumatic tyres or only solid tyres (SE). A mixture
of pneumatic and SE tyres, for example, is prohibi-
ted.
– Make sure that only one type of tyre is fitted.
Tyre quality affects the track behaviour and the
stability and handling of the truck. Changes
must only be made in consultation with the
manufacturer. When changing wheels or
tyres, always ensure that the truck does not tilt
to one side (e.g. always change left and right
wheels at the same time).
