Servicing wheels and tyres
Checking the condition and wear of the
tyres
WARNING
Risk of accident due to uneven tyre wear!
Uneven wear increases the braking distance. The
handling characteristics deteriorate.
–
Change worn or damaged tyres without delay.
–
When changing wheels or tyres, ensure that this
does not cause the industrial truck to tilt to one
side (e.g. always replace right-hand and left-hand
wheels at the same time).
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the use of non-approved
wheels.
The quality of the tyres and of the rims affects the
driving safety of the industrial truck. Changes must
only be made following consultation with the manu-
facturer.
Rim parts must never be changed and rim parts from
different manufacturers must not be mixed.
–
If you wish to use a type of tyre or tyre manufac-
turer that has not been approved by STILL, obtain
approval from STILL prior to use.
–
Do not change rim parts and do not mix rim parts
from different manufacturers.
–
Remove any foreign bodies embedded in
the tyres (1).
The level of wear exhibited by tyres on the
same axle must be approximately the same.
Superelastic tyres and solid rubber tyres can
be worn down to the "60J wear limit" (2).
If the industrial truck is to be used in win-
ter conditions in areas where German Traffic
Regulations (StVO) apply, the profile must be
at least 4 mm deep.
Superelastic tyres may then only be operated
as far as the "60J wear limit" (2) if their profile
is re-cut and at least 4 mm deep.
