SAFETY MEASURES DURING MAINTENANCE
3-30
STORING TIRES
• Basically, tires must be stored in a protected room that can-
not be accessed by unauthorized persons.
• Place the tires on an even surface and incline them 60° to
70° (2) against a solid stopper. Secure the tires with wheel
chocks (1) so that they cannot roll away, tip over, or slip.
• If, however, a tire tips over despite this safety measure, do
not try to stop it, but get out of the way as quickly as possi-
ble, since tires for construction machines are very heavy and
may cause serious injuries.
