Tyres / wheels
•
Required tyre pressure.
ο
Runnung gear tyres:
1.8 bar
ο
Support tyres:
3,5 bar
•
Required torque of the
wheel nuts / -bolts:
400 Nm
Important!
•
Check in regular intervals
ο
the firm seating of the wheel nuts.
ο
Tyre pressure.
•
Only use tyres and rims prescribed by us.
•
Repair work on the tyres must only be carried out by skilled
persons with appropriate fitting tools!
•
Fitting tyres requires sufficient knowledge and appropriate
tools!
•
Only apply the jack at the places indicated!
12.7.1
Tyre air pressure
Hint!
•
The required air pressure in the tyres depends on
ο
the tyre size.
ο
the tyre carrying capacity.
ο
the forward speed.
•
The lifespan of tyres is reduced by
ο
overload.
ο
too low a tyre air pressure.
ο
too high a tyre air pressure.
Important!
•
The air pressure difference in the tyres of one axle must not
exceed 0.1 bar.
•
The tyre pressure may increase by 1 bar after a fast travel or
warm weather. By no means reduce the tyre air pressure, as
it would be too low when the tyre cools down.
12.7.2
Fitting wheels
Important!
•
Before mounting a new / other tyre remove any corrosion on
the tyre bearing surface of the rims. Corrosion may cause
damage on the rims when travelling.
•
When mounting new tyres always use new tubeless valves
or tubes.
•
Always screw valve caps with inserted sealing on to the
valves.
