Inflating of tyres
DANGER
High pressure tyres. Always stand on the side of
the wheels when you release the air from or fill
the tyres.
• Never hit a tyre or wheel that is partially or fully filled.
• The tyre must not be inflated until all parts have been fitted.
• The wheel components must never be fitted by being hit with
a hammer when the tyre is being inflated.
• If the tyre has been deflated, remove the wheel and examine it
for any damage.
• It is important to always use approved components for the
wheels.
• Ensure that all the parts are in place when the fitting pressure
has been reached.
• Final inflating to the maximum pressure must be done on
machine or in a safety cage with the correct dimensions for the
tyre in question.
• If a safety cage is being used, the tyre can be filled to full
pressure.
If not, the tyre must be filled to the fitting pressure stated by
the tyre manufacture.
• Do not exceed the tyre pressure that has been prescribed. If the
type of tyre or wheel is changed, another tyre pressure may be
applicable, please contact Konecranes Lifttrucks.
Fill in accordance with the following.
• When filling the tyre, an air filter and water separator should be
installed on the line from the compressor in order to avoid
corrosion on the wheel.
• Ensure that the locking ring and locking lug are in the correct
position before filling is commenced.
• Connect the compressor to the nipple on the tyre.
• Stand on the side of the tyre until the fitting pressure has been
reached.
• Ensure that all the parts are in place when the fitting pressure
has been reached.
• Fit the tyre in accordance with instructions.
