4.9 PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF TYRES

•
When working on the tyres, wedges or other objects without sharp edges
should be placed under the wheels of the trans-shipment trailer to prevent it
from rolling. A wheel may be taken off the trailer axle only when the trailer is not
loaded.
•
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.
•
After removing a wheel, always check how firmly the nuts are screwed in.
Inspection should be carried out each time after first use, and then every 50 –
100 kilometres of travel.
•
Regularly check and maintain correct pressure in tyres according to instructions
(especially if trailer is not used for a longer period).
•
Pressure and tyres should be also checked after the whole day of intensive
work. Please note that higher temperatures could raise tyre 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.
•
Protect valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling.
•
Do not exceed the trailer's maximum design speed.
•
Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
