DETERMINING INFLATION PRESSURES FOR SURFACE LOADERS IN REHANDLING, PRODUCTION, EXTRACTION AND FACE WORK
IMPORTANT
The rule to determine pressures by calculation applies to loaders of standard specication and which have not been modied for special use. The calculated pressures are the minimum for the loads and may be increased to obtain a desired level of handling, or for particular applications, (but must remain within the published load/pressure table for the tyre size and type). For a given load, it can be necessary to modify the pressure of the tyre in order to optimize the behavior of the loader (need of more stability for example). example for improved otation, decrease front pressure by 0,5 bar (7 psi) (while not decreasing the pressure below 2.5 bar) for improved stability, increase front pressure by 0,5 bar (7 psi) (without exceeding the authorized maximum pressure)

In case of long travel distances (ex: delivery of new machine, transfer from one site to another, etc.),specic precautions need to be taken. For all information, do not hesitate to consult your usual Michelin interlocutor

TYRES FOR WHEEL MACHINES DOZERS

HOW TO CALCULATE INFLATION PRESSURES
Depending on the type of work, tyres on a dozer are subjected to different types of loading. - the load on the Front Axle is at the maximum when loading (pushing) a scraper. - the load on the Rear axle is at the maximum when dozing or while stockpiling. From a practical point of view, the maximum load on either of the two axles is approximately equal to 2/3 of the machine weight. Using this method to determine the load on each tyre Use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADERS for the Rear unladen.

DETERMINING PRESSURES FOR COMPACT LOADERS, BACKHOE LOADERS AND TELESCOPIC HANDLERS
HOW TO PROCEED
COMPACT LOADERS By weighing the machine axles
This is the only way whereby tyre pressures can be set accurately for optimum performance. - determine the maximum load on each tyre on the front and rear axles. Front axle The front axle should be weighed with the bucket full and in the transport position. - use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS in the data book. use the 10 km/h table for the front axle laden (BACKHOE LOADERS) use the front laden table for the front axle laden (LOADER) Rear axle (bucket empty) The rear axle should be weighed with the bucket empty and in the transport position. - use the tables Tyre loads and pressures for LOADER or BACKHOE LOADERS in the data book. - use the load table that corresponds to the maximum speed for the rear axle unladen (from 10 to 65 km/h according to the cases) (BACKHOE LOADERS) use the Rear unladen schedule for the rear axle laden (LOADER)
