During cold season when the temperature is below plus 5º С, to avoid water freez-
ing risk it is necessary to make solution by means of adding calcium chloride into the water
according to table 5.7.2.
Table 5.7.2 – Calcium chloride quantity required to make a solution needed for fill-
ing in the tyres when the ambient temperature is below plus 5º С
Ambient temperature
From plus 5º to minus 15º С
From minus 15º to minus 25º С
From minus 25º to minus 35º С
WARNING: WHILE MAKING THE SOLUTION OF LIQUID BALLAST YOU
SHOULD ALWAYS ADD CALCIUM CHLORIDE INTO THE WATER AND STIR UNTIL
THE CALCIUM CHLORIDE IS DISSOLVED! NEVER ADD WATER INTO THE CALCIUM
CHLORIDE! WHEN MAKING THE SOLUTION, WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES! IN
CASE THE SOLUTION CONTACTS WITH EYES, RINSE WITH PURE COLD WATER
FOR FIVE MINUTES! SEEK MEDICAL HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

5.7.5 Procedure of filling tyres with water or aqueous solution

Filling the tyre with liquid shall be carried out in the following order:
- jack up (lift up) the tractor;
- turn wheel 2 (Figure 5.7.1) so that valve 1 moves to its top;
- screw out the spool valve and install a multifunctional "air-water" valve 2 (Figure
5.7.2), through which the water (solution) is filled and the air is removed from the tyre sim-
ultaneously;
- fill up the water (solution);
- after filling up, withdraw the multifunctional valve and screw in the spool valve, and
adjust inner pressure to normal operating pressure.
ATTENTION: PRESSURE OF WATER (SOLUTION)-FILLED TYRES SHALL BE
CHECKED ONLY WHEN THE VALVE IN THE TOP POSITION, OTHERWISE THE WA-
TER ENTERING THE TYRE PRESSURE GAUGE (MANOMETER) CAN CAUSE PRES-
SURE GAUGE FAILURE!
