General Tire Maintenance, Inspection, and Repair
1. Park the truck as described on page 1-15 and check for correct
tire inflation air pressure. See specifications in this OM for cor-
rect tire pressure for your truck.
CAUTION
!
Check tire pressure from a position facing the tread of the
tire, not the side. Use a long-handled gauge to keep your
body away from the side.
• If tires are low, do not add air. Have the tire and wheel inspected
by a person trained and authorized to do tire and wheel mainte-
nance. The tire may require removal and repair.
• Incorrect (low) tire pressure can reduce the stability of a lift truck
and cause it to tip over.
IMPORTANT
Check wheels and tires for damage every time you check
tire pressure. Make repairs when needed. Dirt can get
into cuts and cause damage to the tire cord and tread.
Remove debris from all cuts.
CAUTION
!
Multiple wheel assemblies. Do not loosen or remove
wheel assembly nuts before fully deflating tire. Have only
a trained and authorized mechanic make repairs.
See Service Manual for more detailed information .
