AILED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
In addition to tire inflation pressure, the general condition of your vehicle’s tires is very important to
continuously monitor.
• ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TIRE AND TREAD FOR PUNCTURES, BREAKS, CUTS, ETC. SUCH INSPECTION
SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO EACH TIME YOU RIDE YOUR VEHICLE.
• THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY PROCEDURES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED TO ENSURE
MAXIMUM TIRE SAFETY. FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY RESULT IN SEVERE
BODILY HARM.
•
NEVER USE DAMAGED OR REPAIRED TIRES.
Once your vehicle’s tire(s) has been so compromised, it
should never be reused. It should be replaced with a new tire(s) as it is unsafe.
•
NEVER INDISCRIMINATELY REPLACE A SPENT TIRE WITH JUST ANY NEW TIRE.
Replacement new tires
should be the same as original equipment tires. (See “AMERICAN IRONHORSE Consumable Table” for
replacement tire information.) Selection of an improper replacement tire could cause unstable vehicle operation.
• Always have a trained, professional service replace your vehicle’s tires. Special procedures and tools are
required to properly and safely install, maintain and replace tires, tubes and wheels.
• Operating your vehicle with excessively or unevenly worn, improperly inflated or unbalanced tires can affect
vehicle stability and may result in serious injury.
• Always be attentive to situations where your vehicle’s tire(s) may have been overly stressed due to striking
objects such as curbs, potholes, etc. It is possible for a tire to experience severe internal damage in such
situations without exhibiting any outward signs. Always have such tires removed and inspected, inside
and out for possible damage before re-operating your vehicle with such tires. If ever in doubt of a tire’s
stability for safe operation, replace it with a new tire. Never take chances on a questionable tire.
