Inflating the tires
These instructions are for adding air to a tire
which is already inflated. If the tire has lost all
its air pressure, call in a qualified tire
mechanic. The tire mechanic should use a
tire inflation cage and the correct equipment
to do the job.
1. Prepare the wheel.
Before you add air to the tire, make sure it
is correctly fitted on the machine or
installed in a tire inflation cage.
2. Prepare the equipment.
Use only an air supply system which
includes a pressure regulator.
Set the regulator no higher than above the
recommended tire pressure. (See below).
Use an air hose fitted with a self locking air
chuck and remote shut-off valve.
3. Add the air.
Make sure that the air hose is correctly
connected to the tire valve.
Clear other people from the area.
Stand behind the tread of the tire while
adding the air.
Inflate the tire to the recommended
pressure. Do not over-inflate.
· 8.25 - 20 Twin tires
· Tire pressure: 650 kPa (94 psi)
CHECKING THE WHEEL NUT TORQUES
If, for whatever reason, wheel nut is
renewed, all the nuts for that wheel must
be changed as a set, since the remaining
nuts may have been damaged.
On new machines, and whenever a wheel
has been removed, check the wheel nut
torques every two hours until they become
proper.
Every day, before starting work, check that
the wheel nuts are tight.
