Wheels - Goldacres Crop Cruiser G6 Operator's Manual

Wheels

Tyre Changing
• Only an experienced person working with the
correct equipment should change the wheels.
• When changing a wheel, ensure that the sprayer
is on hard, level ground and the wheels at the
opposite end of lifting are chocked.
• Remove the isolator and the key from the ignition.
• Before raising the machine off the ground ensure
that the boom is at its fully closed position.
• Where possible empty the spray tank before
lifting the machine.
• Place the jack securely under the jacking point and
gently raise the machine until the weight has been
removed from the wheel.
• Do not support the sprayer using materials that
may crumble.
• Do not work under the machine when supported
solely by a jack.
NOTE: When the tank is fully loaded each wheel
supports a weight up to approximately 4 tonnes.
Always ensure that the jack is designed to operate
under this pressure.
Tyre Maintenance
• Maintain the correct tyre pressure at all times.
Inflation above the recommended pressures may
cause damage to the tyres.
• Extreme caution is required during the inflation of
tyres. If tyres are inflated at a rapid rate then the
tyre rim combination may explode. This can result
in serious or fatal injuries.
• When inflating a tyre regularly check the tyre
pressure with an inflation gauge.
• Do not weld, heat or modify the rim, as this is
likely to weaken the rim.
Be proactive and regularly check the condition of
your tyres.
Tyre Pressures
The tyres on the Crop Cruiser operate under harsh
conditions. High road speeds and high loads can
cause tyres to wear prematurely. It is very important
that tyres are maintained and operated correctly.
Tyre pressures are the most important factor in
maintaining the correct load rating of the tyre.
G4.7, G5, G6 Crop Cruiser Operator's Manual MY19 - REV 0
It is advisable to protect the tyres as much as
possible to reduce deterioration.
Chemical sprays and insecticides are harmful to the
rubber in the tyres and should be washed off after
use.
Tyre Pressures must be checked daily to maintain a
satisfactory working life.
Also see chart in Chapter 3 'General Information &
Specs'.
Wheel Nut Tension
Wheel nuts must be tensioned daily when the
machine is new or when the wheel nuts have been
removed and refitted.
Once the wheel nuts hold their tension inspection
can be lengthened to approximately 50 hours.
Wheel nut tension specification on the Super
Cruiser front and rear wheels is 350 ft/lb.
