Tyres, inflating
Filler valve (A) on the machine may preferably be used for inflating
tyres or cleaning in connection with maintenance work.
Connecting hose:
1 Remove the cover.
2 Connect the hose.
Wheel nuts, check-tightening
After changing a wheel or if a wheel has been removed for other
reasons, the wheel nuts must be check-tightened after 3 hours of
operation.
Tightening torque (800 Nm)
NOTE! Try to avoid mixing tyres from different manufacturers
or tyres with different type designations on the same axle,
since this may lead to unnecessary wear of the drive train and
also alter the properties of the machine.
WARNING!
Make sure that you stand to one side of the tyre when
inflating a tyre fitted on a split rim. Wheels of this type may
explode, causing injury or death. Use a self-attaching air
chuck with a hose long enough to enable you to stand away
from the trajectory path when inflating the tire with air.
