Tire Pressure Check
WARNING: Do not inflate the tires with flam-
mable gases or with air from systems that use
alcohol injectors. This could cause explosion
and/or accidents.
TIRE VALVE
Check the pressure with a tire pressure gauge. The nor-
mal pressure is:

Do not stand directly in front of tire while performing main-
tenance. Always stand to one side and extend your arm
to filler valve.
Be sure tires are properly inflated to the specified pressu-
re. Inspect for damage periodically.
Check tires only when the wheels and tires are cool to
avoid under inflation. Do not use reworked wheel parts.
Improper welding, heating or brazing, weakens them and
can cause failure.
Always use an inflation cage, safety cables or chains
when removing tire lock rings or inflating tires. Always
deflate tires before removing lock rings or objects from
tread, according to local or national requirements.
Never begin to inflate a tapered bead tire unless bead
seat band is securely in place over the lock ring. Impro-
per inflation is a large contributor to tire failures. Under
inflation will cause damage to the cord body of the tire.
The repeated excessive flexing of the sidewall area may
eventually cause a series of breaks and separation in the
cord fabric.
Over inflation must also be avoided. For maximum flota-
tion in very soft footing, inflation may be decreased.
If 24 hour operation does not permit checking inflation
pressure on completely cooled tires, a correction factor
can be determined by experiment.
Check as many times as possible when "cold" and again
after two hours of operation. The average difference must
be added to the recommended pressure when checking
the tires during constant operation.
Continuous operation of equipment builds up heat and
accompanying higher pressure in the tire. These normal
increases are allowed for in the design of the tires.
WARNING: Travel pressures are recommen-
ded to optimize the performance of the ma-
chine during long transfer trips on open roads
with no load. Before putting the machine back
to work, it is imperative to reinflate the tires to
working pressure to avoid damaging the tire
sidewalls.
NOTE: Never exceed the maximum pressure stamped
onto tire sidewalls.
