TIRES
Do not over inflate. Check for proper inflation
with an accurate gauge when the tires are cold.
Inspect tires for nails and other objects embedded
in the rubber, and for stones and other objects
lodged between duals. Examine tires to see that
they are free of breaks and other defects. Watch
new and retread tires for signs of failure during
break-in period. Dual tires on any axle end should
have the same diameter.
CAUTION:
The law requires that you inflate tires according to the inflation pressure molded
on the tire by the tire manufacturer. Tires must be matched with proper
compatible rims for safe operation.
Replace any tire that has fabric exposed through the tread or sidewall, or that
has less than 2/32” tread depth.
TIRE LOADS
Do not overload the trailer tires. Overloading tires creates a dangerous,
unsafe condition that should be avoided.
The total load per tire must not exceed the tire manufacturer’s specified load
carrying capacity at stated inflation pressures for both tires and rims. Demco Side
Dump trailers, as required by the certification regulations of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (CFR 49, Part 567), has a Gross Axle Weight Rating plate on
each trailer for your information on the running gear capacity.
The GAWR and tire information shown on the vehicle identification plate
was applicable at the time the trailer was manufactured. If the tires or other
components of the running gear have been changed or altered since the trailer was
manufactured, the GAWR may have changed. This should be checked with the Demco
factory representative.
