•
When being inflated, the tyres may explode and come off, thus
causing serious accidents.
•
Before inflating the tyres, always check the conditions of the
rims and the outer conditions of the tyres themselves, in order
make sure that there are no dents, cuts, torn plies or other de-
fects.
•
It is advisable to have these checks and maintenance opera-
tions carried out by a specialized technician.
•
Inflate the tyres using a protection structure and a pneumatic
inflating gun with extension complete with controlling pressure
gauge.
•
Before starting this operation, make sure that there is no one
in the vicinity and position yourself in front of the tread.
•
Do not exceed the inflation pressures prescribed for the single
types of tyre and make sure that all the tyres have the same
pressure.

•
When the machine is stopped at the end of work, the exhaust
pipe (1) and the tailpipe (2) are very hot. In these conditions, if
any maintenance operation has to be carried out, the operator
runs the risk of being burned or injured.
Carry out any maintenance operation only when the tempera-
ture of these parts is normal and in any case always use thick
gloves.
•
Be particularly careful when reassembling the tailpipe (2) on
the exhaust pipe (1).
The tailpipe (2) must be positioned in the correct direction and
respecting the angles indicated in the figure (A).
By following the procedure indicated above, you prevent the
exhaust gases from being directed towards the cab and there-
fore towards the operator.
