TIRE MAINTENANCE
Wheel Nuts
See the SERVICE SCHEDULE, Page 1–3 for the service
interval to check the wheel nuts. The correct torque is
105–115 ft.–lbs. (142–156 Nm) torque [A].
Tire Rotation
Check the tires regularly for wear, damage and pressure
See SPECIFICATIONS Page 9–1 for the correct tire
pressure.
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 [B].
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.
Tire 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.
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.
