to 56 kg.m)
10 studs wheel :603 to 749 N.m(61
to 76 kg.m)
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
Low tire inflation pressures could
cause overheating and burst of the
tire. High tire inflation pressures,
on the other hand, will drastically
reduce tire life.
When tires were replaced, be sure
to adjust the tire inflation pressures
to the standard values.
荫 The standard tire inflation pres鄄
sure caution plate at the right side
of the driver's seat shows the max鄄
imum tire inflation pressures for
operation on the general road. To
extend ti re life, it is advisable that
the tires are adjusted to the infla鄄
tion pressures calculated from the
load.
Precautions for adjustment of tire
inflation pressures
荫 Adjustment should be made
while the tires are cold before op鄄
