    AIR PRESSURE
    Tire pressure is the most important factor in tire maintenance. Running machinery on
    tires that are not inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended levels of air pressure
    causes excessive wear, tire separation, and tire-rim slip. The result is reduced tire life,
    loss of productivity, and increased operating costs.

    Tires should be visually inspected before every shift for cuts and impacts that could lead to tire
    failure. Routine maintenance inspections can lead to discovering deeper cuts that have exposed
    plies. In these cases, removing the tire and repairing it immediately can extend the life of the tire,
    increasing the site’s profitability. The following four items should be checked before every shift:

    CHECK THE SIDEWALL


    Look for cracks, cuts or other damages to prevent
    unwanted downtime during your shift.

    CHECK TREAD DEPTH


    Contact your local representative for a replacement set
    once your tire’s tread reaches about 10/32nds, this
    ensures optimum performance and protection.

    SECURE THE VALVE CAPS


    The valve cap is the primary air seal on the valve stem. To
    avoid air pressure loss, check for leaks, cracks and
    corrosion in the valve area.

    CHECK THE LUG NUTS/BOLTS


    Everything should be properly torqued to manufacturer
    specifications to ensure the operator’s safety.

    OPERATOR TIPS
    Operator training and behavior are both critical to extending tire life. The operator who avoids
    unnecessary backing up, spinning of tires, & erratic movements will extend tire life on the site
    and increase production. The following three tips will help you increase tire life on your site:

    #1 Carefully plan your routes and be aware of the layout in the working area

    #2 Always select the best driving path whenever possible

    #3 Go around obstacles, mounds or steep inclines when possible to avoid the chance of tire
    damage
