4.12 PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF TYRES

• When working with tyres, the trailer
should be secured against rolling
by placing chocks under the wheel.
Wheels can 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 ap-
propriate tools.
• Regularly check if the nuts fixing the
wheels are properly tightened. Addi-
tionally, check the wheel nuts after
the first use of the trailer and every
2–3 hours of the trailer travel during
the first month of the trailer use.
• Regularly check and maintain correct
air pressure in tyres according to Op-
erator's Manual (especially if trailer is
not used for a longer period).
• Air pressure in tyres should be also
checked during 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, reduce
load or speed.
• During wheel dismounting, memorize
the sequence of wheel and spacer
ring dismounting. The smaller ring
is mounted on the wheel axle drum
side. The larger ring is mounted on
the external side.
• Do not release air from warm tyres to
adjust the pressure or the tyres will
be underinflated when temperatures
return to normal.
• Tyre valves should be protected with
caps to avoid soiling.
• Do not exceed the trailer's maximum
design speed.
• When the trailer is operated all day,
stop working for a minimum of one
hour at noon.
• Take breaks during driving in order to
cool down tyres.
• Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres
or high speeds when turning.
