Changing a loader tyre involves several vital steps to ensure safety and proper installation. Here’s a general guide:
Preparation: Ensure the loader is on a stable, level surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks around the other tyres to prevent movement.
Lift the Loader: Using a hydraulic jack or loader lift to raise the machine. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for lifting points and safety.
Remove the Old Tyre: Using a suitable wrench or impact gun, unscrew the lug nuts or bolts holding the tyre in place. Carefully remove the old tyre from the wheel hub.
Install the New Tyre: Position the new tyre onto the wheel hub, aligning it with the bolt holes. Hand-tighten the lug nuts or bolts, then use a wrench or impact gun to secure them in a crisscross pattern to ensure even tightening.
Lower the Loader: Gently lower the loader back to the ground, ensuring the new tyre is seated correctly.
Check and Tighten: After lowering the loader, recheck and tighten the lug nuts or bolts to the recommended torque specifications.
Final Inspection: Inspect the tyre and installation to ensure everything is secure and properly aligned.
For specific instructions and safety precautions, refer to the loader’s operator manual. If you need additional assistance or are unsure about the process, consider consulting a professional.
Inflating a loader tyre correctly is essential for maintaining optimal performance and safety. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Check the Recommended Pressure: Refer to the loader’s operator manual or the tyre sidewall for the correct inflation pressure. This ensures you inflate the tyre to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Prepare the Equipment: Use a reliable air compressor with a pressure gauge to ensure accurate inflation. Make sure the compressor is connected correctly and functional.
Inspect the Tyre: Before inflating, visually inspect the tyre for any damage, debris, or abnormalities. Ensure the valve stem is clean and in good condition.
Attach the Air Chuck: Connect the air chuck from the compressor to the tyre’s valve stem. Make sure it’s securely attached to prevent air leaks.
Inflate the Tyre: Slowly inflating the tyre, monitoring the pressure with the gauge. It’s essential to inflate gradually to avoid over-pressurizing.
Check the Pressure: Frequently check the pressure with the gauge during inflation to ensure you reach the recommended level. Avoid exceeding the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tyre.
Remove the Air Chuck: Carefully remove the air chuck from the valve stem once the desired pressure is achieved.
Secure the Valve Cap: Replace the valve cap on the valve stem to keep it clean and prevent air leaks.
Final Inspection: After inflation, inspect the tyre to ensure it is properly seated on the rim and has no leaks.
Always follow safety protocols and the loader manufacturer’s recommendations during this process.
