MAINTENANCE J. Tire Check and Adjust Tire Pressure Check --- every 10 hours (daily) Adjust --- as necessary WARNING: Secure the front and rear frames with the d articulation lock bar and ring pins. When inflating tires, stand behind the tire tread and use the self-attaching chuck. Avoid welding near tires, which could potentially cause the tires to explode. If the machine catches fire, tires may explode due to emission of heat if any sign of abnormality such as tire smoking, abnormal increase in tire temperature, or the air smells of rubber or tire bead burning is found. SA-249
IMPORTANT:
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Even if only one tread pattern has worn out, replace the tire with a new one. Before operating the machine, check the tires for any breaks, damage or foreign matter. When replacing one tire, use a new tire having the same tread pattern and specification as the other tires.
Check Tire Pressure WARNING: Pay attention not to allow tires to be d used with excessively high or low pressure, possibly causing abnormal vibration of the machine during traveling. In addition, cracks of the tires and premature cracks of the wheels may result. 1. Measure air pressure when the tires are cool before operating the machine. Standard Tire Size
Standard Air Pressure
17.5/65-20-10PR
240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm2) (34 PSI)
2. Check tires for any damage and/or excessive wear.
