CHECK TIRE PRESSURES AND TIRE
CONDITION
Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressures.
Inspect the tread, 1, and sidewalls, 2, for damage.
Adjust the tire pressures to suit the load being
carried.
See “Tire Pressures and Permissable Loads” in
Section 5.
NOTE: If the tires are ballasted with a calcium
chloride/water solution, use a special tire gauge as
the solution will corrode a standard-type gauge.
Check pressure with the valve stem, 3, at the bottom.
