Inflation of Tires
Personal injury or death could result when tires are inflated incorrectly. 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.
Set the tire inflation equipment regulator at no more than 140 kPa (20 psi) over the recommended tire pressure.
Before inflating tire, install on the machine or put tire in restraining device.Installing Tires
Have a qualified tire mechanic service the tires and rims.It is recommended that this mechanic inflate the tires.Tire Pressures
The inflation pressures shown in the following chart are cold inflation operating and shipping pressures.The inflation pressure is based on the weight of a ready-to-work machine without attachments, at rated payload, and in average operating conditions. Pressures for each application may need to be varied from those shown and should always be obtained from your tire supplier. Tire Inflation Pressure Adjustment
A tire inflated in an enclosed shop area at a temperature of 18° to 21°C (65° to 70°F), will be underinflated if the machine works in freezing temperatures. Low pressure shortens the life of a tire.If the machine is operated in freezing temperatures, consult the Cold Weather Recommendations Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU5898, for adjusted inflation pressures.
