Tires
A. Tire Air Pressure Check
1. Perform “Shut-Down Procedure” on page 4-3.
2. Remove valve stem cap.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Add air if required. Refer to the Operation & Safety Manual supplied with telehandler
for tire pressures.
5. Replace valve stem cap.
B. Tire Damage
For pneumatic tires, when any cut, rip or tear is discovered that exposes sidewall or tread
area cords in the tire, measures be taken to remove the product from service immediately.
Arrangements must be made for replacement of the tire or tire assembly.
C. Tire and Wheel Replacement
It is recommended that a replacement tire to be the same size, ply and brand as originally
installed. Refer to the appropriate parts manual for ordering information. If not using an
approved replacement tire, the replacement tires must have the following characteristics:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original.
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater than original.
• Wheel diameter, width and offset dimensions equal to the original.
• Approved for the application by the tire manufacturer (including inflation pressure
and maximum tire load).
Unless specifically approved by JLG, do not replace a foam filled or ballast filled tire
assembly with a pneumatic tire. Due to size variations between tire brands, when
selecting and installing a replacement tire ensure both tires on the axle are the same.
The rims installed have been designed for stability requirements which consist of track
width, tire pressure and load capacity. Size changes such as rim width, center piece
location, larger or smaller diameter, etc., without written factory recommendations, may
result in unsafe condition regarding stability.
