Ensure that the engine cowl is closed and
latched; refer to

Inspect the tires and wheels; refer to
the Tires and Wheels (page
Checking the Tires and Wheels
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Inspect
the tires and wheels.
After each use—Torque the lug nuts to 108 to
122 N-m (80 to 90 ft-lb) after towing.
WARNING
Failure to maintain correct tire pressure
may result in tire failure and loss of control,
resulting in property damage and serious
injury or death.
• Check the tire pressure frequently to
ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not
inflated to the correct pressure, they will
wear prematurely.
• Inspect the tire condition before towing
and after any operating accident.
The DOT tire information is located on the side of
each tire. This information gives load and speed
ratings. Replacement tires should have the same
or better ratings. For more information go to
http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Tires.

Ensure that the tires are inflated to the correct
air-pressure. The following rating indicates the
appropriate air pressure for the tires as installed
at the factory.
Important:
the actual tires for the correct air pressure
requirement.
Important:
trouble is underinflation. Maintain full air
pressure.
Air Pressure: Max 241 kPa (35 psi)

Ensure that the wheel lug nuts are torqued to
108 to 122 N-m (80 to 90 ft-lb).
Note:
