OPERATION
HANDLING TIRES
Tires are weak in strength due to the material
they are made of. Be sure to observe the
prohibitions and precautions below to
prevent the tires from being damaged or
coming off.
PROHIBITIONS
Do not travel or operate the machine in the
following places:
HANDLING TIRES
• Traveling or slewing on crushed rock,
extremely rough hard rock, steel beams,
scrap iron or near the edges of steel plates
will cause damage to the tires.
• Traveling on riverbeds or places where
there are many boulders may cause the
stones to get caught and damage the tires
or make the tires come off.
• Do not use the machine on the seashore.
The salt may corrode the metal wheels.
• Do not let fuel, oil, salt or chemical solvents
get on the tires. These substances may
corrode the metal wheels and tires,
resulting in rust or peeling. If you find any of
these on the tire, immediately wipe if off
and clean the tire with water.
• The treads will show irregular wear or will
be damaged, if the machine travels on
recently paved asphalt road, ground
around a bonfire or hot iron sheets under
the blazing sun.
• Do not move earth in places where the
tires may slip. Doing so may speed up
tread wear.
