Inflating Tires
Always check inflation pressures when the
tires are cool, using an accurate tire pres-
sure gauge. Check the pressures at regular
intervals.
CAUTION
Never bleed the air from hot tires. In-
creased tire pressure measured in a hot
tire is normal. Lower than recommended
pressures may cause side wall flexing re-
sulting in increased tire heat. This may
cause premature tire failure.

Tires and wheels must be serviced only
by a qualified technician. Do not attempt
to perform this work yourself. Inflated
tires on wheels contain compressed air
and if suddenly released, do so with an
explosive force. Serious personal injury
or death can occur.
For specific information and warranty on
rims and tires, contact the tire manufac-
turer’s distributor. Check tires for abnormal
wear. Also, check the tread depth.
