4.7 PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF TYRES
•
When working with tyres, the manure spreader should be secured against rolling by
placing chocks under the wheels. Wheels can be taken off only when the manure
spreader is not loaded.
•
Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and
entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriate tools.
•
Each time a wheel is fitted, tighten all nuts after the first 10 working hours and then
check proper tightening of nuts every 50 working hours. The above actions should be
repeated each time a wheel has been removed from the wheel axle.
•
Regularly check and maintain correct pressure in tyres according to Operator's Manual
(especially if manure spreader is not used for a longer period).
•
Pressure and tyres should be also checked during the whole day of intensive work.
Please note that higher temperatures could raise tyre pressure by as much as 1 bar.
At high temperatures and pressure, reduce load or speed.
•
Do not release air from warm tyres to adjust the pressure or the tyres will be
underinflated when temperatures return to normal.
•
Tyre valves should be protected with the appropriate caps to avoid soiling.
•
Do not exceed the manure spreader's maximum design speed.
•
When machine is operated all day, check temperature of tyres.
•
Adhere to 30 minutes rest for cooling tyres after driving 75 km or after 150 minutes
continuous travel depending on which occurs first.
•
Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
