OPERATION
HANDLING TIRES
PRECAUTIONS
Observe the following precautions when
operating the machine:
• Do not turn the undercarriage with the
front of the machine body lifted using the
hoe attachment (the upperstructure is not
turned). Doing so will twist the tires with
the load concentrated on a single point on
the tire, causing rapid damage to the tires.
• Avoid changing courses abruptly
whenever possible. Doing so may wear or
damage the tires.
• Avoid falling of the machine that may
expose the tires to strong shocks.
• Salt, potassium chloride, ammonium
sulfate, potassium sulfate and triple
superphosphate can damage the tires. If
any of these substances gets on the tires,
wash if off thoroughly with water.
• Do not let the sides of the tires rub against
concrete or walls.
• Do not let the bucket hit the tires and
damage them.
• Be especially careful on snowy or frozen
surfaces in winter, as the tires easily slip in
such conditions.
• Use tires at temperatures between –25°C
to +55°C (–14°F to 131°F).
• When storing the tires for long periods of
time (three months or more), do so
indoors in a place not exposed to direct
sunlight or rain.
• Tires are not very stable. Be very careful
when slewing sideways.
