TIRES AND WHEELS
Your trailer is equipped at the factory with name-brand trailer tires. If you ever have tire problems
under warranty, check on the web for the nearest dealer. Only dealers who handle that particular
brand can do this. To get the maximum performance from your tires, check the air pressure
regularly, but only when the tires are cool. Never bleed out air immediately after driving.
If you replace your tires, always replace them with radial tires of the same type and size.
Spare Wheel Carrier
The spare wheel for ALTO R1713, R1723, F1743, A2124 AND F2414 is stored under the front of
the trailer. It is secured by a plastic block screwed in its centre and a safety bolt. Unscrew the
safety bolt and the plastic block to lower and remove the spare wheel. The lug nuts used on the
aluminum rims can be used for a steel spare.
The spare wheel for ALTO F2114 is located at the rear above the bumper (except in case of
optional front and rear bike racks, in this case it is placed under the front of the trailer). The spare
wheel is attached with lug nuts. Remove the lug nuts and remove the spare wheel. The lug nuts
used on the aluminum rims can be used for a steel spare.
Inflation of Tires
Maintaining proper tire inflation pressure is essential for both tire safety and performance.
Tire Inflation Information
The level of air in your tires affects your trailer’s overall performance. Not even the highest quality
tire will perform well if it’s not properly inflated. The correct pressure varies from trailer to trailer.
Recommended Tire Pressure
Each vehicle has a maximum inflation pressure, usually found on a metal tag glued to the outside
of the trailer, on the driver side at the front, as well as on the original equipment tires. Never
exceed the pressure indicated on the tire when cold.
Cold Inflation Pressure should be adjusted to handle the maximum tire load, and all tires on the
axle should carry the same inflation pressure. Cold tire inflation pressure is the tire pressure
checked in the morning before you drive more than a few miles or before rising ambient
temperatures or the sun’s radiant heat affects it. Tire pressure should be checked cold, as tire
pressure ratings have been designed with typical running heat/pressure build-up in mind. The
recommended inflation pressure is not to be confused with the maximum inflation pressure that
is shown on the side of the tire. At the recommended inflation pressure, tires will last longer and
be less likely to fail, and the tow vehicle will use less fuel. Serious injury can result from tire failure
because of under-inflation or overloading.
