Accident hazard due to incorrect maintenance!
Can cause serious injury or death.
► Have repair work on wheels, tires, etc. performed only by a Wacker
Neuson service center.
► Use suitable assembly tools, for example covering sleeves for the
studs, a jack.
Depending on load, work and ground conditions, the extent of wear of the
front and rear tires can be different. Therefore interchange the front and
rear tires regularly to ensure identical rolling properties.
If a damaged tire has to be replaced, then also replace the other one on
the same axle.
Inspection work
Checking the tires at regular intervals increases operational safety and the
service life of the tires, and reduces machine downtimes.
For the permissible tire types and pressures – see chapter “9.5 Tires” on
page 9-4
Perform the following maintenance once a day:
• Visual check of the tire condition.
• Check the tire pressure.
• Check the tires and rims for damage and wear.
• Check the wheel nuts for tightness and retighten them if necessary.
• Remove foreign bodies from the tire tread.
