Inspecting and Inflating the Tires
WARNING
� Explosive separation of a tire and/or rim
parts can cause serious injury or death.
Always follow the service outlet or see
your tire supplier.
�
Do not inflate tires with flammable
gases or from systems utilizing an
alcohol injector.
�
Never cut or weld on a wheel with an
inflated tire mounted on it. This could
cause explosive decompression.
�
Always use a safety cage or cable
restraints when reinflating a repaired
tire.
�
A rise in tire pressure during operation is
normal, and should NOT be reduced.
�
Always maintain the correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate the tires above
the recommended pressure.
Recommended air pressure must be
maintaind in every tire. Dairy checks assure
that inflation is correct. If your periodic check
discloses a tire that is continuously losing air,
a leak is indicated and must be repaired.
During your pressure checks, also inspect
for:
�
Objects wedged between duals or
embedded in tires.
�
Mismatched duals. Diameters should be
equal as well as amount of tread wear.
�
Missing valve caps and wheel lugs.
�
Cuts, tears, and breaks that may need
rapair.
�
Abnormal or uneven wear.
�
Damaged or poor fitting rim or irm
flanges.
�
Projecting body hardware, loose fender
bolts, spring clips - anything that could
contact a tire.
