TM 10-3930-653-14&P [3]  TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE CHECK Check  condition  of  tires.    Low  air  pressure  reduces  tire service life and increases fuel consumption.  Uneveness of  air  pressure  between  right  and  left  tires  or  unevenly worn or badly damaged tires will cause uneven steering forces. < Inflation Pressure > kg/cm2 (psi) Sinqle Drive Wheels ..........................................8,5 (120) Steering Wheels ...................................................7 (100) Turn  the  tire  valve  cap  counterclockwise  and  remove  it. Using    a    tire    pressure    gauge,    measure    the    inflation pressure,   and   adjust   it   to   the   specified   pressure,   if needed.  After making sure there is no air leakage from the tire valve, reinstall the cap. Check that each tire does not get damaged at the tread surface or side face or there is no bending at the rim, Since the forklift truck needs tires that have a high inflation pressure to carry heavy loads, even a small bending of rims or damage at the tread surface could cause an accident.  If the operator finds any defect on the tires, consult TCM’s dealer or distributor. WARNING All    nuts    and    bolts    should    be    properly    installed    and torqued before inflating tire and rim assembly, An inflated tire contains potentially explosive energy. DON’T OVERINFALTE. WARNING When    using    an    air    compressor,    first    adjust    the    air pressure of the compressor.  Failure to do so will cause a   serious   accident,   since   the   compressor   delivers   the maximum pressure. [4] HUB NUT TORQUE CHECK Check  hub  nuts  for  correct  torque.    All  hub  nuts  should be tightened to the specified torque securely. (1)  Front Wheel Hub Nut.......................... 39 to 45 kg-m (282 to 325 ft-lbs) (2) Drive Shaft Nut .................................. 7.8 to 9.0 kg-m (56 to 65 ft-lbs) (3) Rear Wheel Hub Nut ........................... 39 to 45 kg-m (282 to 325 ft-lbs) (4) Rear Wheel Divided Rim Nut........... ..6.6 to 7.6 kg-m (48 to 55 ft-lbs) (Front Wheel)  (Rear Wheel) WARNING •  When removing  tire assembly from the truck, remove only  HUB  NUTS  3.    Never  loosen  split  type  wheel  nuts 4before deflating tires. •    Completely  deflate  tires  before  removing  split  type wheel nuts 4, •    Tires  with  split  wheels  should  be  inflated  in  a  safety cage  or  when  properly  Installed  on  the  truck  In  either case, make sure all nuts and bolts are properly Installed and torqued as specified •  If wheel nuts on the drive axle are loose, tighten nuts to specified torque after removing tire and wheel assembly from the truck. •  Tires with lock ring type wheels should be Inflated in a safety cage or with attaching safety chain •  Stop the truck on a level, hard surface and shut down the  engine.    All  loads  should  be  unloaded  from  the truck. •  Apply the parking brake and block the wheels.  Put the jack under the truck frame. •  Jack up the truck to the extent that the tire still remains on  the  ground.    Loosen  the  hub  nuts  Do  not  remove them. •    Again  jack  up  the  truck  until  the  tire  leaves  off  the ground.  Remove the hub nuts, and detach the wheel. •  The wheel should be reinstalled in the reverse order The hub nuts should be tightened in the diagonal order evenly. 2-9
