on the wheel rim.

Ensure a minimum distance of 1 inch [25 mm] from the scraper
to the running gear tires!

Required tire pressure.
 
Running gear tire / Roller tire:

62 psi [4.3 bar]

Roller feelers: 26 psi [1.8 bar]

Required tightening torque for lug nuts or bolts:
258.15 ft lb [350 Nm]

Required axle bolt tightening torque:
332 ft lb [450 Nm]

Regularly check:

lug nuts for tightness

tire pressures

Only use approved tires.

Repair work on tires may only be carried out by specialists using
suitable assembly tools.

12.6.1 Tire air pressure

The required tire air pressure is dependent on:

tire size

tire carrying capacity

forward speed

The operational performance of the tires is reduced:

by overloading.

if tire air pressure is too low.

if tire air pressure is too high.

Check tire air pressure regularly when the tires are cold, i.e.
before begining a run.

The difference in pressure between the tires on one axle must
be no greater than 1.45 psi [0.1 bar].

Tire air pressure can be raised by up to 14.5 psi [1 bar] after a
fast run or in warm weather. Tire air pressure should on no ac-
count be reduced as it is then too low when the tires cool.
