RECOMMENDED MOUNTING LUBRICANTS FROM SUPPLIERS The following table documents tire supplier recom- mendations for Tire Mounting Compounds. Tire Mounting Compounds Tire-Slick Michelin “Tigre 80” Grease TIRE SUPPLIER RECOMMENDED COLD INFLATION PRESSURES The following tables present commonly found Caterpillar and the tire suppliers’ recommended cold inflation pressures for tires on Cat machines. For inflation pressures of tire suppliers not listed please obtain them directly from the respected supplier. The inflation pressure is based on a ready-to-work vehicle weight, rated payload, and average operating conditions. Pressures for each application may need to be varied from those shown and should always be obtained from your tire supplier. Pressures for all tires apply to rib, traction, rock, deep tread, and super deep tread tires. NOTE: Caterpillar recommends using dry nitrogen (N 2 ) gas for both tire inflation and pressure adjustments on all current and past production machines. EXCAVATORS For complete tire data and inflation pressures, see the Excavator section in this handbook. REMA Tiptop Fuchs Silkolene IZY-SEEL

Optimal pressures may vary depending on specific applications and working conditions. Always consult your local tire supplier for operating pressures.
