Maintenance and Care
11.20 Fitting Tyres
• Fitting tyres requires sufficient knowledge and the availability of proper tools! Incorrect
fitting can lead to the tyre bursting with an explosion when it is pumped up. This can cause
serious injury. If you do not have sufficient experience of fitting tyres, the tyres should be
fitted by the KRONE dealer or a qualified tyre specialist.
• When fitting tyres on the wheel rims, the maximum pressure given by the tyre manufacturer
must not be exceeded. The tyre or even the wheel rim could burst with an explosion.
• If the tyre heels do not fit properly when the maximum permitted pressure is reached, let
out the air, align tyres, lubricate tyre heels and pump up the tyre again.
• Detailed information on fitting tyres on agricultural machinery can be obtained from the
tyre manufacturers.
Never operate the self-propelled high
performance mower-conditioner with
the tyre pressure which is normal when
the tyres are dispatched. Keep the valve
caps fitted on the valves to keep
dirt out.
Check tyre pressure frequently!
11.21 Wheel Fixing
Tighten the wheel nuts after the first and then every
20 to 25 operating hours with 700 Nm.
11.19 Checking and Maintaining
Tyres
• Check the tyres daily for damage and correct pressure
as the tyre service life depends on the tyre pressure.
• Repair cuts or tears in the tyres as soon as possible or
change tyres.
• Do not expose tyres to oil, grease, fuel, chemicals or
let them stand in the sunlight for long periods.
• Drive carefully; avoid driving over sharp stones or edges.
• Check the tyre pressure at least once per week with an
accurate instrument. (see cap. 1.2.7)
