Proper care therefore must be taken not to
distort or mutilate the rim parts, because they
must mate properly to form part of the basic air
chamber. Since the rim base, bead seat band,
and flange are endless, distortion may prevent
easy assembly as well as possibly resulting in
no seal.
Never drop, tumble, or roll rim parts.
If rim parts are stored outdoors they should be
given a protective coat of a good commercial
primer.
Similar parts should be stacked neatly to
prevent distortion.
Babbitt or lead hammers, not sledge hammers,
should be used in assembling rims.
'O' rings are seals and should be carefully
stored in a cool, dry place where they will not
be damaged.
Valve cores also should be stored in a cool,
dry and clean place.

Tyre Inflation Pressures
E3 tyres may be so roaded up to 48 km/h (30
mile/h), maximum, with a 30 minute cooling
stop after each 80 km (50 miles) or 2 hours
sustained operation - whichever occurs first
- and a 60 minute cooling stop after each
aggregate of 4 hours of operation.
E4 tyres may be so roaded up to 32 km/h (20
mile/h), maximum, with a 30 minute cooling
stop after each 32 km (20 miles) or 1 hour of
sustained operation - whichever occurs first
- and a 60 minute cooling stop after each
aggregate of 4 hours of operation.
Normal inflation pressure of bias tyres
(27.00-49 48PR) is 0.575 Mpa. Specific job
conditions, terrain, haul road maintenance
