INSULATION 1467006 - Caterpillar

Use a self-attaching inflation chuck and stand behind the tread when inflating a tire.Proper inflation equipment, and training in using the equipment, are necessary to avoid overinflation. A tire blowout or rim failure can result from improper or misused equipment.Before inflating tire, install on the machine or put tire in restraining device.
Set the tire inflation equipment regulator at no more than 140 kPa (20 psi) over the recommended tire pressure.

Table 2 lists the lowest recommended pressure for additional traction.Note: Accelerated tire wear will occur if machine is operated in high gear to move between job sites (roading). Special consideration must be taken if operating tire pressure at a lower range, and there are paving options attached (extra weight) and operating the machine in high gear.
