4.10 TIRE MAINTENANCE
1. Tire Inflation and Service
1. 1 Upon receiving your loader, check the air
pressure in the tires as indicated in the
table.
1. 2 Check tire pressure every 50 hours or
weekly.
1. 3 Tire inflation pressure affects the amount
of weight which a tire may carry. Do not
over or under inflate the tires.
1. 4 Do not inflate a tire above the
manufacturer’s maximum pressure shown
on the tire or the maximum pressure
shown in the table.
1. 5 Do not re - inflate a tire that has been run
flat or seriously under - inflated until the
tire has been inspected for damage by a
qualified person.
1. 6 When checking tire pressure, inspect the
tire for damaged side walls and tread cuts.
Neglected damage will lead to early tire
failure.
1. 7 Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
1. 8 Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges
with soap solution. Do not use oil or
grease.
1. 9 Use a clip - on tire chuck with a remote
hose and gauge which allows the operator
to stand clear of the tire while inflating it.
1. 10 After seating the beads, adjust inflation
pressure to recommended operating
pressure.
1. 11 Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is
mounted on the loader or is secured so that
it will not move if the tire or rim should
suddenly fail.
1. 12 Do not weld, braze or otherwise repair a
rim. Do not use a damaged rim.
1. 13 Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or
highway.
1. 14 Use jack stands or other suitable blocking
to support the loader while repairing tires.
1. 15 Insure jack has adequate capacity to lift
your loader.
1. 16 Insure jack is placed on a firm level surface.
1. 17 Do not put any part of your body under the
loader or start the engine while the loader
is on the jack.
1. 18 Torque lug nuts to specification after
reinstalling wheel. Check lug not torque
hourly until torque stabilizes.
Tire Inflation Table
Tire Inflation Pressure
8.50 x 15.0 30 - 35 PSI (207 - 241 kPa)
10.50 x 15.0 30 - 35 PSI (207 - 241 kPa)
2. Tire Rotation
The front and rear tires will wear at different rates. For
even wear move the front tires to the rear and the rear tires
to the front when wear is first noticed.
If two tires become worn more than the other two put the
two worn tires on the same side.
When new tires are installed, always keep tires the same
size on the same side of the loader. Two different size tires
on the same side of the loader will cause drive chain wear,
tire wear and a loss of power.
WARNING
4...MAINTENANCE
To avoid personal injury:
Inflating or servicing
tires can be dangerous.
Trained personnel should
be called to service
and/or mount tires when
possible. In any event to
avoid possible serious or
fatal injury, follow the
safety precautions below.
WARNING
NEVER INFLATE
TIRES TO OVER 240
KPA (35 PSI) TO SEAT
BEADS. If beads have not
seated by the time
pressure reaches 240 KPa
(35 PSI), deflate the
assembly, reposition the
tire on the rim,
relubricate both tire
beads, rim flanges and re-
inflate. INFLATION
Beyond 240 KPa (35 PSI)
with unseated beads may
break the bead or rim
with EXPLOSIVE force,
sufficient to cause serious
injury.
