Wheel And Tire Maintenance; Roll-Over Protective Structure (Rops) - Case 845B VHP Operator's Manual

Use an air hose equipped with a remote shutting valve
•
and an extension with the pressure gauge and keep
distance from the tire being inflated in order to avoid
possible injuries due to the separation between the
tire and rim, etc.
Explosive separation of the tire and/or rim parts can
•
cause injury or death. When tire service is necessary,
have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
DO NOT weld to wheel or rim when a tire is installed.
•
Welding may cause an explosive air / gas mixture that
will be ignited with high temperatures. This can ha-
ppen to tires inflated or deflated. Removing air or bre-
aking bead is not adequate. Tire MUST be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.

ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

Do not modify ROPS in any manner. Unauthorized modifications such as welding, drilling, cutting, or adding attach-
•
ments can weaken the structure and reduce your protection. Replace ROPS if it is subjected to roll-over or damage.
Do not attempt to repair.
CHAPTER 2 – SAFETY / DECALS / HAND SIGNALS

WHEEL AND TIRE MAINTENANCE

A tire may blast during the inflating operation and cau-
•
se serious injuries or death. Never inflate a tire with air
pressure higher than 35 psi (2,4 bar) in order to force
the tire bead seating on the rim. Replace a defective
tire. Replace a wheel which rim shows cracks, wear or
serious corrosion. Before removing a tire from a rim,
make sure that all the air has been removed from it.
Never try to force the removal of a tire which is totally
or partially inflated. Make sure the tire is properly sea-
ted on the rim before inflating it.
