Wheel pressure of a garden wheelbarrow

A garden wheelbarrow is a necessary attribute in a summer cottage. It is actively exploited and transports a huge amount of cargo in a short time. This explains the desire to buy a truly high-quality tool that will not fall apart after one season of use. And when purchasing, you should pay special attention to the wheels.

Garden wheelbarrow tire pressure

It is no secret that most of the instruments presented in the stores of our vast homeland are made in China. Their quality is noticeably worse than foreign or domestic products.

The wheel is usually made of low quality rubber. In particular, an alloy is used, the main ingredient of which is phenol.

Technical characteristics of such wheels leave much to be desired:

• they are afraid of sudden temperature changes;
• cannot tolerate strong heating and hypothermia;
• suffer from direct ultraviolet rays;
• deteriorate when pumped and actively used on difficult soils.

In order for the wheel to serve for a long time, it is important to maintain uniform tire pressure. In summer - within two atmospheres on the front and rear tires, in winter - 1.9 atmospheres.

If the wheelbarrow has not been used for a long time, check the pressure with a tonometer before use.

How to determine a quality tire?

If you need to replace a tube or tire, we go to the store.Here we show attentiveness, pay attention to the color of the rubber. It is less black than its cheap counterparts from the Middle Kingdom. In addition, there is no obsessive smell of phenol.

The maximum pressure in such a tire is from 40 to 70 P.S.I.

The camera is matte, dense, if you run your finger it makes a creak. The size is clearly marked on it and there is a metal valve.

If you value your tool and want to use it for many years, immediately replace the tires with more expensive but stable wheels made in India, Indonesia or Thailand.

Note that a tire damaged during operation is repaired at car tire shops, but due to the low quality of the rubber, they do not guarantee that the patch will last long.

How to change the inner tube on the wheel of a garden wheelbarrow?

If you decide to change the camera yourself, go to the store and buy the product in accordance with the labeling. Armed with your tools, unscrew the bolts holding the tire in place and remove the old, damaged tube.

Then check the markings again and place a new tube in the tire. Next, it remains to assemble the wheel in the reverse order, tightening the retaining bolts. The tire is again ready to work on the site.
