WHEELS/TIRES/BALLAST

WHEELS AND TIRES

WARNING: Exploding tires and/or rim parts can cause injury or death. Keep yourself and others out of the DANGER AREA. Stand on the tread side of the tire. Always use the correct air pressure and follow the instructions in this manual for adding air or servicing the tires.

WARNING: Explosive separation of the tire and/or rim parts can cause injury or death. When tire service is necessary, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.

WARNING: DO NOT weld to wheel or rim when a tire is installed. Welding will cause an explosive air/gas mixture that will be ignited with high temperatures. This can happen to tires inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking bead is not adequate. Tire MUST be completely removed from the rim prior to welding.

Wheel Bolt Torque

Check the torque of the wheel bolts after every 20 hours of operation until the wheel bolts stay tight, if the machine is new or if a wheel has been removed and installed. If a wheel is removed from the machine and installed, tighten the bolts using the sequence shown. First tighten the bolts to 298 Nm (220 pound-feet), then to a final torque of 640 to 720 Nm (475 to 530 pound-feet) in the same sequence. Bolts are M22 - 1.5, GR. 10.9
