Before assembling a new tire to the bead lock rim, check both
valve stems for any damage. Ensure rim beads are free and
clean of any dirt/debris that might cause leakage due to poor
seating. Secure the rim tightly before proceeding with tire
installation. Figure 7-16.

Highest Pressure •Onroughorrockyterrain,llto,but
not more than the recommended
range indicated on the tire sidewall.
This will reduce the possibility of tires and rims being dam-
aged during heavy duty applications.
It is also important to observe the recommended load capaci-
tiesofyourvehiclewhentravellingondierentkindsofter-
rain. For load capacities of your particular vehicle, see Section
1 of General Information in this operators guide.
IMPORTANT
It is ultimately the responsibility of the operator to determine
