Precautions when handling tyres
Handling tyres
For details see 3.3.16 “Handling tyres” (3-96).
If tyres or rims are handled incorrectly, there is danger that the
tyre may explode or be damaged, or that the rim may fly off and
cause serious injury or death.
To maintain safety, always proceed as follows.
Maintenance, disassembly, repair, and assembly of the tyres
and rims requires special equipment and special technology.
Always ask your Komatsu distributor to carry out these oper-
ations.
Inflate tyres up to the defined pressure. If the tyre pressure is
too low, the tyres may heat up and burst. If the tyre pressure
is too high, there is also danger that the tyre may burst.
If a tyre heats up considerably, inflammable gases are pro-
duced. A burning tyre may burst very easily, thus spreading
fire over a large area.
Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are still cold. Do not
let off pressure if the pressure in a warm tyre has increased.
Do not light a fire and do not carry out welding near the tyre.
Keep the working area free of pointed or sharp objects that
may damage the tyre.
Avoid any overload.
The values for tyre pressure and permitted speed given in this
manual correspond to the manufacturers' values and refer to
standard usage. In case of special usage, please refer to your
Komatsu distributor or the tyre manufacturer.
