Tire Damage
For pneumatic tires, JLG Industries, Inc. recommends that
when any cut, rip, or tear is discovered that exposes sidewall
or tread area cords in the tire, measures must be taken to
remove the JLG product from service immediately. Arrange-
ments must be made for replacement of the tire or tire
assembly.
For polyurethane foam filled tires, JLG Industries, Inc. recom-
mends that when any of the conditions listed below are dis-
covered, measures must be taken to remove the JLG
product from service immediately and arrangements must
be made for replacement of the tire or tire assembly.
• a smooth, even cut through the cord plies which
exceeds 3 inches (7.5 cm) in total length
• any tears or rips (ragged edges) in the cord plies
which exceeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) in any direction
• any punctures which exceed 1 inch (2.5cm) in diame-
ter
• any damage to the bead area cords of the tire
If a tire is damaged but is within the above noted criteria, the
tire must be inspected on a daily basis to insure the damage
has not propagated beyond the allowable criteria.
Tire Replacement
JLG recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply
and brand as originally installed on the machine. lease refer
to the JLG Parts Manual for the part number of the approved
tires for a particular machine and model. If not using a JLG
approved replacement tire, it is recommended that replace-
ment tires have the following characteristics:
• Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original.
• Tire tread contact width equal or greater than original.
• Wheel diameter, width, and offset dimensions equal to
the original.
Unless specifically approved by JLG Industries Inc. do not
replace a foam filled tire assembly with a pneumatic tire.
When selecting and installing a replacement tire, ensure that
all tires are inflated to the pressure recommended by JLG.
Due to size variations between tire brands, both tires on the
same axle should be the same.
