MAINTENANcE
TIRES:

Inflate the tires to the normal pressure.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
Recommended Pressure
15-18 psi (103-124 kPa)
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with vehicle operation and stability,
causing serious personal injury.
