1. When checking the air pressure in the tires, make sure the tires
are cool before increasing or reducing air pressure. Even driving
a short distance can heat up tires.
NOTE: If the motorhome must be driven a distance to get air,
check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate
air pressure when reaching the pump. It is normal for tires to
heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as driven. Never
“bleed” or reduce air pressure when tires are hot.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve and record reading.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If the tire is over filled, release air by pushing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve. Then recheck the pressure with the tire
gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire.
8. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails, or other
objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an
air leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts,
bulges, or other irregularities.
NOTE: Air pressure in a tire goes up (in warm weather) or
down (in cold weather) 1 to 2 pounds for every 10 degrees of
temperature change.
