Tyres
Check the air pressure of the tires every 50 hours and correct it if necessary. For tyre size and recommended air pressure refer to the technical data.
Air pressure recommendations must be strictly complied with. For special applications other pressures may be required, if necessary follow the instructions of the tyre manufacturer and do not exceed the max. permitted pressure. The adherence to the specified air pressure has a decisive influence on the lifetime of the tires. From the factory the machine may have been delivered with excessive tire pressure. Before starting to work with the machine for the first time you should therefore check and, if necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires according to the recommendations. – When checking the tyre pressure, the tyre should be cold and the machine without a load. – An self-locking nozzle with hose of sufficient length should be used, so that the person performing the work can stand outside the danger zone. (See illustration) – Do not cut or weld on the rim of an inflated tire. – Do not combine rim parts of different dimensions and do not use damaged or defective parts. – Always relieve the tire pressure before removing foreign obstacles from the tread of a tire. – After checking and filling screw the valve cap back on.
