Inflating the tires
WARNING
Injury hazard due to bursting tires!
Inflating the wheels can cause accidents resulting in serious injury or
death.
► Use only filling devices with calibrated pressure gages to inflate the
tires.
► When inflating the tires, ensure that no one is in the danger zone.
► Fill the tires only with the filling pressure from the air pressure table.
These instructions refer to inflating tires after loss of pressure. Observe
the air pressure prescribed for the tires of the vehicle see Tires on page
241.
If there is a complete loss of pressure, this work may only be carried out
by an authorized service center.

2. Secure the vehicle with the parking brake.
3. Retract the loader unit and lower it to the ground.

that it securely remains in place.
3. Pump up the tire to the prescribed pressure.
