Read and observe: “Tyre pressure, safety instructions”.

• Park the machine on firm and level ground.

Stand the working equipment on the ground. • Apply the parking brake. • Shut off the engine. • Before inflating the tyre, the wheel must be installed correctly on the machine or placed into an inflation cage (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 • Attach a pressure hose with remote trigger and self-locking nozzle (3, Fig. 2) and pressure gauge (2) to the tyre filling valve (1, Fig. 2). • The prescribed inflation pressure (see “Tyre pressures”) can be read at the pressure gauge (2, Fig. 2) and corrected, if required. Fig. 2

Inflating tyres

1. Make sure nobody is standing beside the tyre and that all other persons remain out of the hazard zone. 2. It is absolutely necessary to use a pressure hose with remote trigger and self-locking filling nozzle. 3. Keep on the side of the tread pattern when inflating the tyre. 4. Inflate the tyre to the prescribed pressure. Do not inflate the tyres to a higher pressure than specified.
