X Search for tyre size
:
in the tyre pressure
table.
X
Search for load bearing index
;
which cor-
responds to the tyre type next to the tyre size
in the tyre pressure table.
X Find maximum permissible axle load
=
in the
tyre pressure table and read off the tyre pres-
sure.
For specific tasks, e.g. during winter mainte-
nance, a maximum vehicle axle load rating for
fitting approved attachments may be increased.
In such cases, the speed of the vehicle is limited.
The tyre pressure will then deviate from the
information in the following tyre pressure table.
It needs to be increased in accordance with the
E.T.R.T.O. standard and the information provi-
ded by the tyre manufacturer.
