Tyre Inflation - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

TYRE INFLATION

Upon receiving your tractor, check the air pressure
in the tyres and re--check every 50 hours or weekly.
The tyres fitted to your tractor may be of the tubed or
tubeless type.
When checking tyre pressures, inspect the tyres for
damaged tread and side walls. Neglected damage
will lead to early tyre failure.
Inflation pressure affects the amount of weight that
a tyre may carry.
Do not exceed the recommended load for the tyre
pressures in use, see the following page for details.
Do not over or under inflate the tyres.
DANGER
Inflating or servicing tyres can be dangerous.
Whenever possible, trained personnel should be
called in to service or install tyres. In any event, to
avoid the possibility of serious or fatal injury, follow
the safety precautions below:
Never attempt tyre repairs on a public road or
•
highway.
Do not inflate steering tyres above the
•
manufacturer's maximum pressure shown on
the tyre or beyond the maximum shown in the
Tyre Pressure and Load tables if the tyre is not
marked with the maximum pressure.
SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATIONS
Do not re-inflate a tyre that has been run flat or
•
seriously under-inflated until it has been
inspected for damage by a qualified person.
Torque wheel to axle nuts to specification after
•
re--installing the wheel. Check nut tightness daily
until torque stabilises.
Refer to tractor weighting section before adding
•
ballast to the tyres.
Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface.
•
Ensure the jack has adequate capacity to lift your
•
tractor.
Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to
•
support the tractor while repairing tyres.
Do not put any part of your body under the tractor
•
or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack.
Never hit a tyre or rim with a hammer.
•
Ensure the rim is clean and free of rust or
•
damage. Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair or
use a damaged rim.
Do not inflate a tyre unless the rim is mounted on
•
the tractor or is secured so that it will not move
if the tyre or rim should suddenly fail.
When fitting a new or repaired tyre, use a clip--on
•
valve adaptor with a remote gauge that allows
the operator to stand clear of the tyre while
inflating it. Use a safety cage, if available.
