Checking Tyres
1. Check tyres daily for damage or noticeably low
pressure.
2. Have any cuts or breaks repaired as soon as
possible.
3. Protect tyres from exposure to sunlight, petroleum
products and chemicals.
4. Drive carefully. Try to avoid rocks and sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT: Minimum pressures may be used
only for light loads and only if
tractor has no added weight. If you
install ballast or mounted
implements, or if you pull heavy
loads, increase pressure.
5. At least every 100 hours of operation, check tyres
with an accurate gauge having 10 kPa (0.1 bar) (1
psi) graduations. If tyres contain liquid ballast, use a
special air-water gauge and measure with valve
stem at bottom.
Refer to Tyre Inflation Pressure Chart in Wheels,
Tyres and Treads section.
