Trailer Safety Guidelines - MULTIQUIP Stow MS18H5.5 Parts And Operation Manual

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical compo-
nents of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer
wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are prop-
erly matched.
CAUTION :
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a
wheel. DO NOT install an inter-tube to
correct a leak through the rim. If the rim
is cracked, the
air pressure in the inter-tube may
cause pieces of the rim to
explode (break-off) with great
force and can cause serious eye
or bodily injury.
Tires Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire
life. Pressure should be checked cold before operation.
DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check
inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maxi-
mum tire life and tread wear.
Table 5 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when
removing or installing force fitted
NOTE
parts. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury.
