TECHNICAL DATA EARTHMOVER TYRES

TYRES FOR WORKING MACHINES COMPACT LOADERS, BACKHOE LOADERS AND TELESCOPIC HANDLERS FITTED WITH INDUSTRIAL TYRES
BACKHOE LOADERS
- determine the maximum load on each tyre on the front and rear axles. This is the only way whereby tyre pressures can be set accurately for optimum performance. Front axle - the front axle should be weighed with the bucket full and in the transport position. - use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS. use the 10 km/h schedule for the front axle laden (BACKHOE LOADERS) use the front laden schedule for the front axle laden (LOADER) Rear axle (bucket empty) - the rear axle should be weighed with the bucket empty and in the transport position. - use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS. use the load schedule that corresponds to the maximum speed for the rear axle unladen (from 10 to 65 km/h according to the cases) (BACKHOE LOADERS) use the Rear unladen schedule for the rear axle laden (LOADER) Note: There are two types of Backhoe loaders. - SIDE-SHIFT - the backhoe can be slid along the transversal axis on which it is mounted. - in the transport position, the load across the rear axle is well distributed. - CENTRE POST - the backhoe is xed at the centre, between the two rear wheels; in the transport position the centre of gravity of the rear axle is offset. This results in one of the rear tyres being more heavily loaded and the pressure in it should be adjusted to correspond to the load.

TELESCOPIC HANDLERS
In the case of telescopic handlers the pressures recommended by the machine manufacturer should be used. These pressures are determined by the machine manufacturer after conducting Tilt Tests for stability. In the absence of machine manufacturers recommendation, apply the following pressures. For earthmover tyres: - use the pressure corresponding to the maximum normalised load (highlighted) as shown in the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADERS front laden for both front and rear tyres. For agricultural tyres: - use the pressure corresponding to the maximum load at 10 km/h as shown in the tables Tyre loads and pressures for BACKHOE LOADERS for both front and rear tyres.

DETERMINING PRESSURES FOR GRADERS

HOW TO PROCEED
As a general rule, the ination pressure must never be lower than 2 bar (29 psi) Should there be an obvious overload or a special need for otation, or if in doubt: - weigh the machine to nd out the load on each axle or use the loads given by the machine manufacturer. - use the tables Tyre loads and pressure for GRADERS. For special work (example: sloping embankments), the ination pressure should never be lower than 2.5 bar (36 psi).
