7 - MAINTENANCE
If you must inflate or service tires, follow these safety
precautions to avoid injury or fatality:
• Make sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
• Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges with soap
solution. Do not use oil or grease.
• Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and
gauge. This allows the operator to stand clear of the
tire while inflating.
• NEVER INFLATE TO OVER
241 kPa ( 35 psi ) TO
SEAT BEADS. If beads have not been seated by the
time pressure reaches
241 kPa ( 35 psi ), deflate the
assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate
both tire bead and rim flanges, and reinflate. Inflation
beyond
241 kPa ( 35 psi ) with unseated beads may
break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient
enough to cause serious injury.
• After seating the beads, adjust inflation pressure to
recommended operating pressure.
• Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is mounted on the
tractor or is secured so that it will not move if the tire
or rim should suddenly fail.
• Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair, or use a dam-
aged rim.
• Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or high-
way
• Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to support
the tractor while repairing tires.
• Ensure jack has adequate capacity to lift your tractor.
• Place jack on a firm, level surface.
• Do not place any part of your body beneath the trac-
tor or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack.
• Before adding ballast to the tires, see the following:
