Proper ination should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating
of a tire causing a blowout. Ination pressure should be as recommended by the tire manu-
facturer or as the federal label for the recreation vehicle indicates.
When you are using your Recreation Vehicle, check ination pressure weekly. Pressure
should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increas-
es.
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.
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. Under-
ination may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss of control, in-
jury, death or property damage.

If you experience a at tire on your motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home to a safe place on the side of the road.
Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualied service facility for assis-
tance. .
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide informa-
tion regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened to the
proper torque.
The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace the
tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualied technician.
The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death.
When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specications.
