5.9 AIR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT, INSPECTION OF TYRES
AND WHEELS
During pressure measurement the trailer
must be unloaded. Check tyres before you
drive off when tyres are not warm, or after
the machine has been parked for an ex-
tended period.
PROCEDURE
• Connect a manometer to tyre valve
and check air pressure. If necessary,
inflate the tyre up to the recom-

mended pressure.
• Check technical condition of tyres
(tyre tread depth, tyre side wall).
• Check tyre for mechanical de-
fects such as loss, cut, deformation
or bulging. In case of mechanical
damage consult the nearest tyre
service and check whether the tyre
defect requires tyre replacement.
• Check that tyre is correctly installed
on rim.
• Check tyre age.
While checking pressure, pay attention

to technical condition of wheels. Wheels
should be inspected with regard to dis-
tortion, breaking of material, breaking of
welds, corrosion, especially in the area of
welds and contact with tyre.
TIP
If the trailer is used intensively, air pressure in tyres
should be checked more frequently.
IMPORTANT
Wrong air pressure in the trailer tyres may lead to
permanent damage of tyres resulting from tyre mate-
rial delamination.
Wrong air pressure in tyres also accelerates the
wear of tyres.
