OPERATION
Handling Tires
Cautions
Heed the following cautions when operating
the machine:
�
Avoid changing course abruptly and
spinning on concrete surfaces whenever
possible.
Doing so may wear or damage the tires.
�
Avoid drops that may expose the tires to
strong shocks.
�
Salt, potassium chloride, ammonium
sulfate, potassium sulfate, and triple
superphosphate of lime can damage the
tires. If any of these substances should get
on the tires, wash them off thoroughly with
water.
�
Do not let the sides of the tires tread against
concrete or walls.
�
Do not damage the tires by hitting the
bucket against them.
�
Be especially careful in the winter on
snowy or frozen surfaces as the tires tend
to slip.
�
When storing the tires for long periods of
time (3 months or more), do so indoors in
a place not exposed to direct sunlight or
rain.
�
Tires are not stable. Be very careful when
slewing and swinging sideways.
