WARNING
Unless it is imperative for the work to be carried out, given that the machine
does not have suspension, the use of solid tyres is not recommended, as this
increases the effect of impacts on the transmission and the operator.
Tyre pressure: Checking
If possible, the tyres should be inflated by specialised personnel.
The following operations are recommended, in particular for the front wheels:
Checking and inflating tyres: Safety measures
WARNING
The tyre pressures of the forklift are very high. Inflating the wheels could be
dangerous if not performed with care.
- Inflate the forklift tyres when cold to the pressure given by AUSA before starting
the day’s work (See the section
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
in this
Operator’s and Safety Manual).
- Checking tyre pressures and inflation should be carried out with a manometer in
good condition fitted with a nozzle with safety clip. The safety clip is essential for
preventing the manometer nozzle from coming off the tyre valve during inflation,
which could cause serious injury to the operator.
- Use gloves to protect hands.
Wheel mounted on the machine
This should be checked while the forklift is on flat ground, the forks are lowered to rest
position and the engine is switched off.
Wheel dismounted
- Place the tyre in a cage or other device suitable for inflating tyres of this nature.
Wheel nuts: Tightening torque
The tightening torque of the wheel nuts should be checked every week. The exact values
of the wheel nut torques are given in the attached table.
- Use a torque wrench in good condition to check the tightening torque of the
wheel nuts.
