Machine maintenance and care
11.12 Tyres
Good tyre economy is a question of regular checks and driving with
the correct tyre pressure.
11.12.1 Check tyres
• Check the tyre pressures at least every 14 days. If the machine
is not used for a longer period of time, check the tyre pressure
before starting up machine operation again.
Always ensure that the tyre pressure is always correctly
adjusted to the type of work which is normally carried out by the
machine in question.
• Never overload tyres.
• Ensure that the caps fit correctly on the valves and well
tightened.
• It is advisable to check the tyres during operation for "folds" or
other abnormal deformations.
Remove any stones, gravel, nails and other foreign objects
which have got stuck in the tyres before they have a chance to
work themselves into the tyres.
Have deep cuts repaired as quickly as possible.
• Relieve tyres if you will not be using the vehicle for a longer
period of time. This prevents tyre deformation.
• Store the "unmounted" wheels in a dark place, free of oil and
other chemicals.
• Do not put the tyres near electric motors. The ozone produced
by the electric motors dries out the rubber.
11.12.2 Changing tyres
42
WARNING
• Use hoisting equipment with sufficient lifting power, which is
suitable and admissible for the weight of the machine.
• Only apply the hoisting equipment at the designated fitting
points.
• Take care that the ground is sufficiently firm before lifting the
machine with hoisting equipment and securing it against
accidental lowering with safety stands. If necessary use also
robust, load-distributing back-up bases.
When repairing tyres and wheels please consult the chapter "Basic
safety instructions", page .
Exposed persons are in danger of being injured by crushing or
impact when the machine is lowered to change the tyres!
• Never stand or walk under a raised, unsecured machine.
