DANGER
Risk of explosion!
In potentially explosive areas, wheels
and tyres that do not meet explosion-
protection regulations may lead
to explosions in the surrounding
atmosphere.
– Only use approved, electrically
conductive tyre types.
– Ensure that they are correctly
labelled (1).
If "non-marking" tyres (non-marking, light-
coloured) are used, antistatic belts must be
attached beneath the truck. These antistatic
belts have an electrically conductive connec-
tion to the chassis and the other end drags
along the floor. In addition, a corona electrode
with leak resistance must be fitted.
Non-marking tyres are identified by the safety
information.
– Observe the explosion-protection regula-
tions.
– Ensure that permissible tyres are used.
– Check the presence and condition of the
antistatic belts/corona electrode.
– If in doubt, speak to the safety officer.
NOTE
Electrically conductive tyres are required on
both axles!
DANGER
Risk to stability!
Failure to observe the following information and
instructions can lead to a loss of stability. The truck

• Tyres not approved by the manufacturer
• Excessive tyre wear
