Selection and inspection of tires

WARNING

If a tire or a rim is handled wrongly, the tire may burst or may be
damaged and the rim may be broken and scattered, and that
can cause serious injury or death.
Since maintenance, disassembly, repair and assembly of the
tires and rims require special equipment and skill, be sure to ask
a tire repair shop to carry out the work.
Do not heat or weld the rim to which the tire is installed. Do not
make a fire near the tire.

Selection of tires

WARNING

Select the tires according to the conditions of use and the weight
of the attachments on the machine. Use only specified tires and
inflate them to the specified pressure.

Select the tires according to the conditions of use and the weight
of the attachments of the machine. Use the following table.

Since the travel speed indicated on the speedometer varies with
the tire size, consult your KOMATSU distributor when using
optional tires.
