14.7 Tyre pressure
The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pressure.
Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate of 0.1
bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst, check the
tyre pressure regularly.
X Tyre pressure that is too low results in overheating of the tyre. Serious
damage to the tyre can be the result.
X Check the tyre pressure before a journey and at 2-week intervals. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre burst.
You can lose control of the vehicle.
X Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
Z Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.
Z The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded vehicles.
Z Pressure in hot tyres is higher than in cold tyres. Therefore, check the pressure
when the tyres are cold.
