INTROduCTioN
The front suspension and steering system
of
this vehicle was
accurately aligned at the factory before delivery to the deal-
ership. However, after you have fully loaded the vehicle
according to your personal needs, have the alignment
checked and adjusted,
if
necessary.
To
help prevent uneven
tire wear, check the front-end alignment periodically.
Excessive or abnormal tire wear may indicate worn or mis-
aligned suspension or steering components, unbalanced tire
or some other tire/suspension problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/suspension parts
or road hazards such
as
hitting a curb, pothole, railroad track,
etc. Improper alignment can cause tires
to
roll at an angle
and wear unevenly.
It
may also cause the vehicle to "pull"
to
the right or left.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and will cause
annoying vibrations and uneven tread wear such
as
cupping
or flat spots.
If
you see uneven tire tread wear or
if
the vehi-
cle ride comfort decreases, the tires may need to be balanced.
See the
Chassis Operator's Manual for more information.
