Operator's Manual
For normal driving the front and rear tires should be inflated
to a pressure of 40 lbs. Important—On cars driven at high speeds,
the front tires should be inflated to 45 lbs.
The tires should be checked at least weekly and brought up to
the recommended pressure if necessary. The pressure should
never be permitted to drop
more than five pounds. If
this is done, tire wear will
be kept at a minimum.
U s e o f J a c k
When a tire is flat, the axle
is not always far enough above
the ground to permit placing
the jack directly under the
axle. In such cases the jack
should be placed under the
spring, as shown in Fig. 21,
as near the axle as possible.
