TireS/WHeelS/lug nuTS
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing
the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle
are properly matched.
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 maximum
tire life and tread wear.
Table 7 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
Warning
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.
Warning
alWaYS wear safety glasses when removing
or installing force fitted parts. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
