3.3 Operation Operation Clearing fallen stones and rocks from the operating area and maintaining the surface will extend the tire life and give improved economy. z For operations on normal road surfaces, rock digging opera- tions: High end of range in air pressure chart z Stockpile operations on soft ground: Average pressure in air pressure chart z Operations on sand (operations not using much digging force): Low end of range in air pressure chart If the deflection of the tire is excessive, raise the inflation pres- sure within the limits given in the table to give a suitable deflec- tion (see deflection ratio). Stockpile operations mean the loading of sand and other loose materials.
Precautions for using load and carry method When traveling continuously with load and carry operations, choose the correct tires to match the operating conditions, or choose the operating conditions to match the tires. If this is not done, the tires will be damaged, so contact your KOMATSU dis- tributor or tire dealer when selecting tires.
