Proper Air Inflation

CM982500026-UN-04JAN00

Inflation pressures should be checked every day and should be properly maintained. Recommended inflation pressures based on actual load on tires should be used. For accurate inflation, use a special low-pressure gauge with 1 lb increments. Gauges should be checked occasionally for accuracy. They may get out of order and corrections in the reading may be required.

Proper inflation, shown here, provides good tire contact with the ground. This causes the least amount of wear in the optimum traction.
