6. Making the machine ready for use
In order to be able to work with the machine correctly, a number of points must be checked and
possibly supplemented before the machine is put into operation. This chapter describes what these
points of the machine are. When receiving the machine, check it carefully for any transport damage.
If the machine is damaged, you must immediately inform the transporter and the dealer of the
machine.
Fuel
The machine must have sufficient fuel in the tank to operate. The dashboard indicates the fuel level
in the tank. Both the 36 and 45 hp version of the engine use diesel for fuel, called B7 within the
European Union. The tank can be refilled via the fuel cap. This fuel cap is located around the front
frame on the left under the start of the boom. Remove the fuel cap before refilling, and then close
the fuel cap properly. If your Pitbull has the option to lock the fuel cap, do not forget to lock the fuel
cap.
WARNING! Fire hazard. Cigarettes and naked flames are prohibited when refuelling. Switch
off the engine before refuelling, and make the Pitbull free of flammable substances.
Tyre pressure
The correct tyre pressure is of great importance to minimise tyre wear, optimise fuel consumption
and ensuring the correct grip on the surface on which the vehicle is driven. Different types of tyres
are available for paved and unpaved terrain. The following tyre pressures are recommended for the
following tyres:
Tyre Nominal pressure
Alliance 31x15.50 – 15 NHS 221 3.1 bar
Alliance 31x15.50 – 15 NHS 223 3.1 bar
BKT 19.0/45-17 AS504 2.8 bar
Deestone 31x15.50 – 15 NHS 3.1 bar
Mitas 31x15.5 – 15 SK-02 3.1 bar
Mitas 31x15.50 – 15 TR-06 3.0 bar
Mitas 31x15.50 – 15 TR-07 3.0 bar
Mitas 425/55 R17 MPT AC70 G 4.0 bar
Mitas 440/50 R17 IMP AR-04 3.6 bar
Mitas 480 45-17 IMP TR-01 4.0 bar
Trelleborg 400/50-15 T463 3.2 bar
Vredestein 400/60 – 15.5 IMP 3.6 bar
WARNING! When using other tyres, check whether they can be mounted on the rim or, if a
rim is supplied, whether the rim fits on the axle. Check with the tyre supplier for the
optimum tyre pressure.
TIP! Increase the optimum tyre pressure by 0.5 bar when driving on a slope between 10%
and 20%.
