TIRE MAINTENANCE
Wheel Nuts
Figure 168
See your SERVICE SCHEDULE for the service interval
to check the wheel nuts [Figure 168]. (See SERVICE
SCHEDULE on Page 65.)
When installing
wheel nuts, tighten to 217 Nm torque.
When checking
wheel nut torque, set the torque wrench
to 190 Nm to prevent over-tightening.
Rotating
Check the tires regularly for wear, damage and pressure.
Inflate tires to the maximum pressure shown on the
sidewall of the tire.
Figure 169
Rear tires usually wear faster than front tires. To keep tire
wear even, move the front tires to the rear and rear tires
to the front [Figure 169].
It is important to keep the same size tires on each side of
the loader. If different sizes are used, each tire will be
turning at a different rate and cause excessive wear. The
tread bars of all the tires must face the same direction.
Recommended tire pressure must be maintained to avoid
excessive tire wear and loss of stability and handling
capability. Check for the correct pressure before
operating the loader.
Mounting
Tires are to be repaired only by an authorized person
using the proper procedures and safety equipment.
Tires and rims must always be checked for correct size
before mounting. Check rim and tire bead for damage.
The rim flange must be cleaned and free of rust.
The tire bead and rim flange must be lubricated with a
rubber lubricant before mounting the tire.
Avoid excessive pressure which can rupture the tire and
cause serious injury or death.
During inflation of the tire, check the tire pressure
frequently to avoid over inflation.
WARNING
Do not inflate tires above specified pressure. Failure
to use correct tire mounting procedure can cause an
explosion which can result in injury or death.

IMPORTANT
Inflate tires to the MAXIMUM pressure shown on the
sidewall of the tire. DO NOT mix brands of tires used
on the same loader.
