Tyres, inflating
Read the safety instructions before working with the tyre and rim,
see Tyre and rim system, safety page 7.
Always follow the instructions for inflating tyres to
avoid risk of accidents.
Only use approved rim components.
If the tyre has been completely deflated, the tyre
must be dismantled and the rim checked for dam-
age.
Never fit rim components by striking with a ham-
mer during inflation. Never strike fully or partly in-
flated tyres or rim assemblies.
Never inflate tyres before all parts are in place.
Do not exceed the prescribed tyre pressure. Other
inflation pressure may apply when changing tyre or
rim version, contact Kalmar Industries.
Never stand directly in front of the wheel when de-
flating or inflating. The conical ring and locking clips
can loosen and shoot out when the pressure is
changed.
Check that all parts are in place when the tyre pres-
sure is 30 kPa.
NOTE
An air filter and water trap should be installed on the line from
the compressor that is used to inflate tyres to avoid rim corro-
sion.
1 Make sure that the lock ring and lock lugs are in the correct po-
2 Connect the compressor with a locking air-chuck to the nipple
3 Move to the side and stay to the side of the tyre while inflation
4 Inflate the tyre to the prescribed level, see specifications.
