Adjusting Pressure in Fluid-filled Tires
On a level open area free from obstructions and bystanders, lock
both Brakes, shift into NEUTRAL, and start engine.
Tires are filled with pressurized diluted RV antifreeze to provide
ballast for a lower center of gravity. EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION
OF RIM AND TIRES MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
 DO NOT remove fluid from tires.
 All replacement tires must be fluid filled.
 Wear a face shield when checking, filling, and repairing fluid-
filled tires.
 Refer to the Service Manual for instructions on repairing fluid
filled tires.
 Do not attempt to check, repair or replace fluid fill tires without
the proper equipment.
 Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose. Stand to the side of
the tire when filling.
 Always maintain tire pressure at 12 PSI. Do not under or over
inflate tires.
 Rear tires have split rims. Release tire pressure prior to
loosening any nuts or bolts.
 Never weld or heat the tire rims as this could cause a tire
explosion or structural damage to the rim.
 Check tires often for cuts, wear, bubbles and missing or lose lug
nuts. Check pressure often.
 Fix or replace worn or damaged tires, rims, and hardware.
