2. Turn the starter switch to the
[RUN]
position.
The fuel pump starts working to supply fuel into the
line. About 10 seconds later, the air will be bled out
from the line.
3. Start the engine.
NOTE :
• The engine may sometimes stall after
starting if air bleeding was not complete. If
engine stalling should occur, repeat step 2
and step 3.
SERVICE FOR TIRES
1. Precautions for handling the tires
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Before changing the tires, stop the engine,
lower the bucket and attachment to the ground,
release the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic
system by operating the control levers, and
remove the starter key.
• To change the tires, place the machine on
blocks suitable for the weight of the machine.
Only qualified personnel must change tires and
mount tires on rims.
• Before adding the air, install the tire correctly
on the machine or put the tire in a retaining
device (tire-inflation-cage). Do not inflate tires
above the recommended pressure shown in the
following table.

2. Checking the tire pressure
Check the tires and rims for damage and eliminate
problems before starting operation.
If the air pressure in the tire is too high or too low, the
life of the tire will be shortened. Check the air pressure
in tires routinely.
1. Check the tire pressure.

Deficient (A)
Insufficient low tire pressure.
Too small amount of air in the tire can cause the
tire to obtain excessive slack, which hastens
wearing down of the tread.
Correct (B)
Correct tire pressure.
Excessive (C)
Excessively high tire pressure.
Too high tire pressure causes the tractive force
of the machine to decrease or the tire to slip.
There is also the risk of a blow out.
3. Changing the tires
Removal
1. Loosen the wheel nuts, each by one turn on the
wheel to be removed.
2. Lift the machine so that the wheel to be removed is
just raised off the ground.
3. Place the machine on jackstands.
4. Then remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel
from the axle.
