PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS FOR STORING TIRES
Tires for construction equipment are extremely heavy, it may
lead to serious personal injury or death. To maintain safety, al-
ways observe the following.
•
As a basic rule, store the tires in a warehouse which unau-
thorized persons cannot enter.
If the tires must be stored outside, always erect a fence
and put up "No Entry" signs.
•
Stand the tire at the angle of 60 to 70 ° (A) on a level
ground, and block it securely (1) so that it cannot tip over
or fall over if any person should touch it. Do not lay the tire
on its side. This will deform the tire and cause it to deterio-
rate.
•
If the tire should fall over, do not attempt to stop it. Get out of the way quickly.
