Fig 1: Checking Tires For Damage And Cracks

	Check
	Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between the columns of the hydraulic hoist and position the four support plates below the hoist support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
1	Check tires on all wheels	Check tread as well as outer and inner sidewalls on all tires for signs of damage such as cuts, punctures, cracks, breakouts, separation and ingressed foreign matter. If damage is present ↓
		Replace tires
	Replace tires	Model 124, 129, 140, 163, 164, 168, 170, 171, 202, 203, 208, 209, 210, 211, 215	AR40.10-P-1030A
		Model 220 except maximum protection, code Z07, with PAX system emergency wheel
		Model 230
		Model 240 except with CSR system emergency wheel Model 414
		Model 220 with maximum protection, code Z07, with PAX system emergency wheel	AR40.10-P-1030MB
		Model 240 with CSR system emergency wheel Model 123, 126, 201	AR40.10-P-1030CSR
2	Check tire wear pattern on all wheels	Greater wear at the shoulder compared to the center of the tire is normal for the front wheel tires. Wear on the rear tires is uniformly distributed across the total tread, whereby wear on vehicles with rear-wheel drive in the middle of the tread is somewhat greater than at the shoulders. In the event of an unusual wear pattern the cause of the increased tire wear should be established and eliminated. Following this: ↓ Replace tires
	Replace tires	Model 124, 129, 140, 163, 164, 168, 170, 171, 202, 203, 208, 209, 210, 211, 215	AR40.10-P-1030A
		Model 220 except maximum protection, code Z07, with PAX system emergency wheel Model 230
		240 except CSR system emergency wheel Model 414
		Model 220 with maximum protection, code Z07, with PAX system emergency wheel	AR40.10-P-1030MB
		Model 240 with CSR system emergency wheel Model 123, 126, 201	AR40.10-P-1030CSR
3	Measure the depth of tread of the tires on at the wheels and note the measurement in the table on the maintenance sheet.	Measure depth of tread at point of greatest wear. Perform measurement at outside, inside and center of tread. Minimum depth of tread 1.6 mm. For safety reasons, tires should be replaced before the minimum depth of tread is reached: Summer tires for approx. 2 to 3 mm depth of tread Winter tires at approx. 4 mm depth of tread
	Information on measuring tire tread depth	All models	AH40.10-P-0006-01T

4.1	Change round wheels on front and rear axles	If necessary, and only on vehicles without mixed tires Retain running direction of wheels, as otherwise handling performances and comfort may be impaired and tire wear increased.
