193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER MAINTENANCE
Tire Wear Troubleshooting
WEAR PATTERN CAUSE SOLUTION
Center Wear Over inflation
Adjust pressure to particular load per
the manufacturer.
Edge Wear Under inflation
Adjust pressure to particular load per
the manufacturer.
Side Wear
Loss of
chamber or overload-
ing
Make sure load does not exceed axle
rating. Align wheels.
Toe Wear Incorrect toe-in Align wheels.
Cupping Out-of-balance
Check bearing adjustment and bal-
ance tires.
Flat Spots
Wheel lockup & tire
skidding
Avoid sudden stops when possible
and adjust brakes.
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install an inter-tube to correct a leak
through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in the inter-tube may cause pieces of
the rim to explode (break-off) with great force and can cause serious eye or bodily injury.
CAUTION
NOTE: ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
CAUTION
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components of the trailer. When specifying or replac-
ing the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Pressure should be checked cold before
operation. DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation pressure weekly during use
to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear.
