4.7 PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF TYRES
•
When working on tyres, the rotary rake should be secured against rolling by placing
chocks under the wheels.
•
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.
•
Inspect tightness of nuts after first use of rotary rake, after first travel under load and
then every 6 months of use or every 25,000 km. In the event of intensive work, check
the nut tightening at least every 100 km. The inspection should be repeated
individually if a wheel has been removed from the wheel axle.
•
Regularly check and maintain correct pressure in tyres according to Operator's Manual
(especially if rotary rake 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 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 rotary rake's maximum design speed.
•
When machine is operated all day, check temperature of tyres.
•
Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
