MAINTENANCE
Tyres
Danger!
Damaged tyres could unexpectedly lose air pressure
during operation
Stability is therefore endangered particularly when
travelling on slopes
- Regularly check tyres for damage and air pressure
- Repairs to tyres should only be carried out by
professionals equipped with suitable tools
When air pressure is too great then the danger of a
tyre bursting exists
- Do not stand too close to the tyre when pumping it
up
- Only used compressed air to pump up the tyre
- Be aware of the maximum permissible air pressure
Permitted air pressure - see chapter “Technical
information”
