Tyre Information
Welding or heating of the rim components, external fire or excessive use of brakes can cause overheating of the
tyres, which could cause a tyre explosion.
This explosion can propel the tyre, rim and final drive components approximately 500 metres from the machine,
which may cause personal injury or death and/or property damage.
If the tyre is overheating and could explode, do not approach it within the area represented by the shaded area
in the drawing, until it has cooled.
Stand behind the tread and use a self attaching chuck with extension hose to inflate the tyres. Use a safety cage
if available. Do not stand over the tyre.
