CHECK THE TIRES
Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an
accurate gauge (see Figure 18).

rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly.
, Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment
and experience to perform the job.
, Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
, Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
, Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use appropriate tool that allows you to stand to
one side,
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure. DO NOT
exceed maximum.
