Change Tires Safely

CAUTION: Do not operate the tractor until the wheel change has been completed.

For rear wheels with wheel weights, the removal and installation must be carried out by an authorized dealer.

When changing wheels, make sure that no-one is standing in the danger zone.

When removing a wheel, make sure that the tractor is supported safely.

When storing removed wheels, make sure that they cannot fall.

Due to the big size and the heavy weight of tractor wheels, pay attention to the following points when changing wheels:

• Before changing wheels, place tractor on firm, level ground.
• Engage park lock and prevent the tractor from rolling away by putting down chock blocks.
• Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized operation.
• When removing rear wheels, prevent front axle oscillation by using wedges.
• Only jack up the tractor at the recommended lifting points, see “Jack Up the Tractor - Lifting Points” in Section 85.
• Use a stable jack with sufficient lifting force. See Specifications, Loads and Weights in Section 145.
• Stop jacking up the tractor when the wheel is completely off the ground.
• Use a suitable wheel dolly, especially when removing a rear wheel. It is available from an authorized dealer under the special tool number KJD10581.
• Support the tractor when a wheel is removed. Appropriate jack stands are available from an authorized dealer under the special tool numbers JT02043 and JT02044.
• When installing a wheel, observe the screw torques, see "Tighten Wheel Bolts and Wheel Weights" in Section 100 or 105.
