Air Pressure Measurement, Inspection Of Tyres And Wheels - PRONAR RC3100 Operator's Manual

Section 5
5.9 AIR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT, INSPECTION OF TYRES
AND WHEELS
During air pressure measurement the
trailer must be unloaded. Checking should
be done before travelling when tyres are
not heated, or after an extended period of
trailer parking.
SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES
• Connect a manometer to tyre valve.
• Check air pressure.
• If necessary, inflate the tyre up to the
recommended pressure.
Required tyre pressure values
are specified on the information
decal (2) placed on the frame.
• Check tyre tread depth.
• Check tyre side wall.
• Check tyre for mechanical defects
such as loss, cut, deformation or
bulging.
• Check that tyre is correctly installed
on rim.
• Check tyre age.
While checking pressure, pay attention to
technical condition of wheels and tyres.
Look carefully at tyre sides and check the
condition of tread. In case of mechanical
damage consult the nearest tyre service
and check whether the tyre defect requires

tyre replacement. Wheels should be in-
spected with regard to distortion, breaking
of material, breaking of welds, corrosion,
especially in the area of welds and contact
with tyre.
TIP
If the trailer is used intensively, air pressure in tyres
should be checked more frequently.
ATTENTION
Wrong air pressure in the trailer tyres may lead to
permanent damage of tyres resulting from tyre mate-
rial delamination.
Wrong air pressure in tyres also accelerates the
wear of tyres.
