Checking Tire Pressure

CAUTION: 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.

  1. Check tires for damage.

  2. NOTE: Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section for tire pressures.

    Check tire pressure with an accurate lower pressure gauge.

  3. Add or remove air, if necessary.
