7.6.4 Checking air pressure, assessing the technical condition of tyres and steel rims.
A tyre pressure check must be carried out each time a wheel is changed and at least once a month. In case
of intensive use, it is recommended to check the air pressure more often. The bale wrapper must be
unloaded at such time. The check should be carried out before driving, when the tyres are not warmed
up, or after a prolonged standstill.
The value of the tyre pressure is indicated on an information sign, placed on the rim or frame, above the
bale wrapper wheel and is 4.7 bar.
Damaged tyres or rims can cause a serious accident.
When checking the pressure, pay attention to the condition of the rims and tyres too. Look closely at the
tyre side surfaces, check the tread condition. In case of mechanical damage, consult your nearest tyre
service centre and check if the defect qualifies for a replacement. Rims must be checked for deformation,
material cracks, weld cracks, corrosion, especially in the weld area and the contact with tyres. The
technical condition and proper maintenance of the wheels significantly extend the service life of these
components and ensures an appropriate level of safety for the users of the bale wrapper.
Pressure control and visual inspection of steel rims:

every 1 month of operation,

every week for intensive use,

if required.
