8.0 Maintenance
8.7. Wheels and tires
Check the tire pressure
regularly:
250 kPa
CAUTION:
If the tires burst and
parts of the wheel rims fly
off they may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Install tires only if you
have the necessary
experience and equipment.
Always maintain the
specified tire pressure.
Never inflate tires above
the recommended pressure.
Do not heat wheels or tires
or carry out welding work
on them. Heating tires may
cause them to burst because
heating greatly increases
the pressure in the tire.
Welding may deform or
damage a wheel.
When inflating a tire
select a filler connection
with a safety strap and an
extension hose with
sufficient length to allow
the operator to stand clear
of the tire during
inflation. Never stand in
front of or on the tire.
Use a safety cage if
available.
Check wheels and tires
daily for low pressure,
cuts, bulges, damaged rims,
missing wheel studs or
nuts.
