Tire Inflation - Check
SMCS - 4203-535-AI
Measure the tire pressure on each tire. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the correct load rating and for the
correct operating pressures. These correct load ratings and correct operating pressures can also be
obtained from your tire dealer.
Inflate the tires, if necessary.
Tire Inflation with Air
Use a self-attaching inflation chuck and stand behind the
tread when inflating a tire.
Proper inflation equipment, and training in using the
equipment, are necessary to avoid overinflation. A tire
blowout or rim failure can result from improper or misused
equipment.
Before inflating tire, install on the machine or put tire in
restraining device.
NOTICE
Set the tire inflation equipment regulator at no more than
140 kPa (20 psi) over the recommended tire pressure.
Tire Inflation with Nitrogen
Caterpillar recommends the use of dry nitrogen gas for tire inflation and for tire pressure adjustments. This
includes all machines with rubber tires. Nitrogen is an inert gas that will not aid combustion inside the tire.
