Adjustment of rear Wheel Tread rear Wheel

Three Rear wheel tread can be obtained by setting relative position of wheel disk and wheel rim.

The various positions obtained by using 12.5/80-18 Industrial Tires are as follows.

An arrow is marked on the sidewall of the tire, which must always point in the direction of forward rotation to obtain maximum traction.

Inflation

Keep tires properly inflated to the pressure as shown in the Chart below. Under inflation will damage tire cord and may cause the tire to slip on the rim and tear out the tube valve stem. Over inflation results in excessive slippage, causing rapid tire wear. Air pressure should be checked once a week with an accurate low pressure gauge having one pound graduations. Air pressure should not be allowed to drop or exceed the recommendations. Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and screwed tight. The caps prevent loss of air through the valve core. Further, they prevent debris from entering and damaging the valve core and air chamber in the tires.

Exceptions (Rear Tires only)

When plowing with a moulded plow, the left hand or land wheel should be inflated to 2 p.s.i. lesser than right hand or furrow wheel.
