TYRES
Inflation and Service
• Upon receiving your tractor, check the air
pressure in the Tyres as indicated in the
tables.
• Check tire pressure every 50 hours, or
weekly.
• Tyre inflation pressure affects the amount of
weight which a tire may carry. Locate the
Tyres for your tractor in the “TIRE INFLATION
vs. PERMISSIBLE LOAD” chart on page 28.
Do not over-or-under inflate the Tyres.
• Do not inflate a tire above the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure shown on the tire or the
maximum pressure shown in the inflation Vs
permissible load chart, page 28 if the tire is
not marked.
• Do not re-inflate a tyre that has been run flat
or seriously under-inflated until the tire has
been inspected for damage by a qualified
person.
• When checking tire pressure, inspect the tyre
for damaged side walls and tread cuts.
Neglected damage will lead to early tyre
failure.
WARNING: Inflating or servicing Tyres
can be dangerous. Trained personnel
should be called to service and/or
mount Tyres when possible. In any
event to avoid possible serious or fatal
injury, follow the safety precautions
below:
• Be 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 which allows the operator to stand
clear of the tire while inflating it.
• NEVER INFLATE TO OVER 35 psi (2.4 bar)
TO SEAT BEADS. If beads have not seated
by time pressure reaches 35 psi, deflate the
assembly, reposition tire on rim, relubricate
both tire beads and rim flanges and re-inflate.
Inflation beyond 35 psi with-unseated beads
may break the bead or rim with explosive
force sufficient 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
damaged rim.
• Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or
highway.
• Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to
support the tractor while repairing Tyres.
• Insure jack has adequate capacity to lift your
tractor.
• Insure jack is placed on a firm level surface.
• Do not put any part of your body under the
tractor or start the engine while the tractor is
on the jack.
