MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING OF TIRES

Check the tires periodically for their surface conditions and ensure that the tires have
no defects in the side and over-bead sections and their carcass are not damaged.
Put the tires showing defects out of operation.

INFLATING THE TIRES

The basic pressures of recommended inflation are specified in the Table. Revise the
pressure regularly before the drive, when the tires are cold. For the inflation make
use of the pressure governor (B), which acts as the pressure equalizer, tire filler, and
relief valve. Unscrew the wing nut of the pressure governor (or a rubber cap) and in-
stead of it screw on the tire inflating hose. The hose must be screwed on completely
up to the end of the thread to depress the check valve. In case the maximum pres-
sure 0,6 MPa (or 0,7 MPa in the twin-hose brake) is in the air storage tank (A), the
tire may not be inflated. In such a case the pressure must first be reduced with the
condensate discharging valve located in the air tank bottom. After the inflation do not
forget to screw back the wing nut or the rubber cap on the pressure governor).
