Form # 169053 110 Model Year - 2010
7.12.3 Tire Inflation
Check tire pressure daily. Maintain pressure at
30 psi (207 kPa).
WARNING
• Service tires safely.
• A tire can explode during inflation and
cause serious injury or death.
• Do not stand over tire. Use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose.
• Never increase air pressure beyond 35
psi (241 kPa) to seat the bead on the rim.
• Replace the tire if it has a defect.
• Replace a wheel rim, which has cracks,
wear or severe rust.
• Never weld a wheel rim.
• Never use force on an inflated or partially
inflated tire.
• Make sure the tire is correctly seated
before inflating to operating pressure.
• If the tire is not in correct position on the
rim, or is too full of air, the tire bead can
loosen on one side, causing air to leak at
high speed and with great force. An air
leak of this nature can thrust the tire in
any direction, endangering anyone in the
area.
• Make sure all the air is removed from a
tire before removing the tire from a rim.
• Do not remove, install or make repairs to
a tire on a rim unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to
perform the job.
• Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire
repair shop.
