TIRES AND WHEELS
Properly inflated tire (2, Figure 117) is an
important factor in determining tire performance
and tire life. A tire that is under inflated (1,
Figure 117) does not properly support machine,
and will wear out quickly. Overinflated tires (3,
Figure 117) have poor traction and puncture
easily.
Use a pressure gauge to measure tire pressure.
Always measure tire pressure before machine
has been working, when tires are cold. Use
table below to determine correct pressure for
front or rear tires when driving machine, or when
working machine.
Check tires for damage and embedded objects.
Check valve stems for damage.
WHEEL NUT TORQUE
Tighten wheel nuts to 58 - 62 kg•m (420 -
