Servicing wheels and tyres
WARNING
Risk of accident due to uneven tyre wear!
The stability of the truck is reduced in the event of
unequal tyre wear. The braking distance increases.
The handling characteristics deteriorate.
–
Change worn or damaged tyres without delay.
–
When changing wheels or tyres, ensure that this
does not cause the 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
stability of the truck. Changes must only be made
following consultation with the manufacturer.
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.
Checking the condition and wear of the
tyres
Superelastic tyres
–
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 truck is to be used in winter conditions in
areas where the StVZO (German Road Traf-
fic Licensing Regulations) applies, the profile
must be at least 4 mm.
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.
