Tire And Wheels - Schulte V1280 Operator's Manual

13.1 Tire and Wheels

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and
the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should
not exceed 15 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Laminated tires
must be installed with the laminations orientated as shown.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the
mower is frequently transported between locations.
Pneumatic Tires Implement tires are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture
proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires.
Check side wall of tire for proper inflation pressure. DO NOT over-inflate. OPS-R-0035
All tires will generate heat during transport, some more than others depending upon tire construction. The
amount of heat being generated by a tire depends on the speed of travel and the load on the tire. The amount
of heat build up in that tire is dependent upon the travel time. Caution must be taken to prevent any tire from
overheating. The tires should be checked periodically during transport. If the tires are beginning to overheat,
they should be allowed to cool and the travel speed should be lowered.
Faster than recommended transport speeds during delivery of a machine to a customer or general transport
from job site to job site can cause serious tire damage and potential failure.
Please see chart below for tire speed ratings and recommended inflation pressures.
