Servicing the tires and wheels
WARNING
Injury or explosion hazards.
►
Do not attempt to remove or install tires on the
rims. Special tools and training are required
to dismount and mount tires safely. Contact a
qualified technician for tire repair service.
►
Do not weld or attempt to use any type of flame
to heat the rim with the tire mounted on the rim.
Tires can release gas with age creating an ex-
plosive atmosphere internally. Heat or flames
can cause an explosion.
NOTICE
Different wheel or tire sizes can result in damage
to the loader's differentials.
Install only wheels or tires from the same manufac-
turer which are the same size and have the same
wear.
Inflating the tires
WARNING
Explosion hazard.
Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.
►
Use only filling devices with a calibrated pres-
sure gauge to pump up tires.
►
Make sure that no one is in the danger area
when you pump up tires.
These instructions refer to inflating in the event
of loss of air pressure. Observe the air pressure
specified for the loader's tire size (see air pressure
table for tires).
In the case of complete air pressure loss, this work
may only be performed by trained, experienced spe-
cialized personnel with appropriate equipment.
