SECTION 3 – LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

TIRES
NOTE: Check tire pressure after every 50 hours
of operation or weekly.
Tire inflation pressure affects the amount of
weight a tire can carry. Check the air pressure in
your tractor tires, then locate the tires in the "Tire
Inflation Pressures" chart found in this manual
(page 2-41), If necessary, adjust the tire
pressure, being careful not to overinflate or
underinflate. Observe the following guidelines:
• Do not inflate a tire above the maximum
pressure shown on the tire. If the tire is not
marked, do not exceed the maximum
pressure shown in the Tire Inflation chart
found in this manual (page 2-41).
• Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat
or seriously underinflated until the tire has
been inspected for damage by a qualified
person.
• When checking tire pressure, inspect the tire
for damaged sidewalls and tread cuts.
Neglected damage leads to early tire failure.
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.
Trained personnel should service and/or
mount tires whenever possible.
If you must inflate or service tires, follow these
safety precautions to avoid injury or fatality:
• Make sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
• Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges
with soap solution. Do not use oil or grease.
• Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose
and gauge. This allows the operator to stand
clear of the tire while inflating.
• NEVER INFLATE TO OVER 2.4 BAR TO
SEAT BEADS. If beads have not been
seated by the time pressure reaches 2.4 bar
deflate the assembly, reposition the tire on
the rim, relubricate both tire bead and rim
flanges, and reinflate. Inflation beyond 2.4
bar with unseated beads may break the bead
or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause
serious injury.
• After seating the beads, adjust inflation
pressure to recommended operating
pressure.
• Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is
mounted on the tractor or is secured so that
it will not move if the tire or rim should
suddenly fail.
• Do not weld, braze, repair, or use a
damaged rim.
• Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or
highway.
• Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to
support the tractor while repairing tires.
• Ensure the jack has adequate capacity to lift
your tractor.
• Place jack on a firm, level surface.
• Do not place any part of your body beneath
the tractor or start the engine while the
tractor is on the jack.
• Before adding ballast to the tires, refer to the
information in this manual on "Tractor
Weighting."
