14.7 Tyre pressure
The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pres-
sure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate
of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst,
check the tyre pressure regularly.
The vehicles are constantly brought up to the newest technical standards. It is
possible that new tyre sizes are not yet included in this table. If this is the case,
the Dethleffs dealer will be happy to provide the newest values.
Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.
The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded vehi-
cles.
Pressure in hot tyres must be 0.3 bar higher than in cold tyres. Recheck the
pressure when the tyres are cold.
The kg values refer to the actual axle load.
Tyre pressures in bar.
Over 4.75 bar requires a metal valve.
The tyre pressure tolerance is +/- 0.05 bar.
