Drive Wheel
Inflating Drive Wheel Tire
DANGER
• Use a safety cage if available.
• Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose.
• NEVER install a tube in a cracked wheel rim.
• NEVER weld a wheel rim.
• Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure as per
label on tire.
• Make sure all the air is removed from a tire before
removing the tire from the rim. Figure 5.208: Drive Tire Inflation
DANGER
• NEVER use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly seated before
inflating to operating pressure.
• Do NOT remove, install or make repairs to a tire on a rim, unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.
• If the tire is NOT in correct position on the rim, or if too full of air, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in any
direction, endangering anyone in the area.
DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason. A child or even a
pet could engage an idling machine.
Visually check daily that tires have not lost pressure. Adjust pressure as required. Under-inflation of drive tires can
cause side wall cracks.
Measure tire pressure annually with a gauge. Maintain tire pressure as follows:
1. Determine the type and size of tire that is installed on your machine.
2. Refer to the Drive Wheel Tire Pressure table for the appropriate tire pressure.
