Inspecting & Pressure - Holiday Admiral 2016 Manual

Inspecting & Pressure
Inflation pressure is rated at a
cold psi. Cold psi is defined as
early in the morning before the
day's ambient temperature, sun's
radiant heat or heat generated
while driving has caused inflation
pressure to temporarily increase.
Check tire inflation pressure
every morning before driving.
Use a high-quality truck tire
gauge with an angle airhead to
ensure access to the dual wheel
positions of the drive axle.
Ensure the valve cap is
replaced on the stem after the
inflation pressure is checked. Use
valve stem caps with a positive
seal to prevent air from escaping
through the valve stem.
If there are extension hoses
on the valve stem, make sure
they are high-quality reinforced
stainless steel braid. Attach hoses
securely to the outer wheel to
prevent movement. The valve
stem cap guarantees the valve core will remain
free of dirt and foreign material. Material
lodged between the valve core and internal
stem can cause slow leaks resulting in tire
failure.

Optimum tire performance is achieved at
proper inflation pressure for the load carried.
Do not mix tires of different tread patterns,
size or construction on the same axle. The
difference could result in damage to the
drivetrain or handling issues.
The motorhome may be equipped with an
on-board "tire pressure monitoring" system.
Individual tire pressures are displayed on
the monitor when the feature is selected.
The tire pressure monitoring system is to be
used for "Reference Only". To accurately
determine individual tire pressure, a reliable
and calibrated tire pressure gauge in good
working condition should be used. The Federal
Certification Label for proper tire inflation
pressure. Follow the guidelines in this owner's
manual for checking air tire pressure. Consult
your monitor system's owner's manual for
additional information.

WARNING:
A slow leak may go unnoticed on
one of the dual tires. Damage to
the other tire can occur tire from
weight overload. Tires with damaged
sidewalls can burst upon inflation. A
flat or nearly flat tire can also generate
enough heat from friction to ignite.
WARNING:
For safety purposes, clear the area of
people and pets during tire inflation.
Inflate tires using a remote inflation
device.
Air Pressure Checklist
When checking inflation pressure,
z
confirm the tires are cool before
increasing or decreasing inflation
pressure. Tires in direct sunlight will
increase inflation pressure. Driving a
short distance will heat the tires and
raise inflation pressure.
