5.9 Tires
Tire wear can vary according to work and ground conditions.
CAUTION
Personal injury hazard. Improperly repaired tires or rims may cause accidents.
☞ All repair work on tires and rims may only be performed by an authorized
Wacker Neuson service facility.
☞ We recommend checking the tires for wear and the wheel nuts for tightness once a
day.
☞ Park the machine on firm and level ground to check and perform maintenance.
Important
Checking the tires at regular intervals increases operational safety and the
service life of the tires, and reduces machine downtimes. Please refer to
Chapter 6.11 “Tires” for the authorized tire types and the correct tire
pressures.
Important
Replace tires with new ones after 6 years (irrespective of wear) and dispose of
them correctly. After this period, the rubber no longer has its full capability due
to various chemical and physical processes.
Inspection work
☞ Perform the following maintenance work once a day:
• Visual check of the tire condition.
• Check the tire pressure.
• Check tire and rim (outside and inside) for damage.
• Check for wear.
• Remove foreign bodies from the tire tread.
• Remove traces of oil and grease from the tires.
