It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each
trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on the
Federal Certication label to determine the correct tire pressure. .
Failure to follow proper ination guidelines may result in tire failure, which,
under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that
may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.
NOTE: Cold tire ination pressure is dened as a tire that has not
been used for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one
mile. Tire ination pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as
much as 6 psi over a cold tire.
To insure your tires are operating safely, regular inspection of your tires and checking tire
pressures is absolutely mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear will
affect tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
When you are using your motor home, check ination pressure weekly to insure maximum
tire life and travel wear. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel,
tires heat up and pressure increases. Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may
then be under-inated.
Tire pressure is the most important factor in the life and performance of your tires. Proper
ination should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating of a
tire, which could result in a blowout. Ination pressure should be as recommended by the
tire manufacturer or as the federal label for the motor home indicates.
