Dangers During Travel - PRONAR T740 Manual

• Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and
entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriately selected
tools.
• Regularly inspect the tightness of nuts securing the wheel to the axle according to
the recommendations of the axle manufacturer.
• After removing a wheel and each time after 50 – 100 kilometres are covered,
check the tightness of wheel nuts.
• Pressure and tyres should be also checked after the whole day of intensive work.
Please note that higher temperatures could raise tire pressure by as much as 1
bar. At high temperatures and pressure reduced load or speed. Do not release air
from warm tyres to adjust the pressure or the tyres will be underinflated when
temperatures return to normal.
• Do not exceed the trailer's maximum design speed.
