TIRE INFLATION INFORMATION
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire that is an all-steel radial. All-steel radial tires utilize
steel cords in the sidewalls, and also require increased inflation pressures. Has such,
they cannot be treated like normal light truck tires. Personnel trained, supervised and
equipped according to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations must perform tire service, including adjusting tire pressure. For example,
during a procedure involving tire inflation, the technician or individual must utilize a
remote inflation device, and insure that all persons are clear of the trajectory area.
WARNING
: An inflated tire and rim can be very dangerous if improperly
used, service or maintained. To avoid serious injury, never attempt to re-inflate
a tire which has been run flat or seriously under inflated without first removing
a tire from the wheel assembly for inspection. Do not attempt to add air to tires
or replace tires or wheels without first taking precautions to protect persons
and property.
The tire manufacturer provides a Recreational Vehicle Tire Guide with each Freightliner
chassis that is passed along to you in the Airstream Owner’s Packet. Please take the
time to read it as it has information on the loading, weighing, and inflation of your RV
and its tires.
