Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure and adjust to the pressure listed on
tire sidewall.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive
separation of tire and 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 a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long enough
to allow you to stand to one side.
