Tire Safety
13.1. Tire Information
The tires installed on the E180 and E-Series trailers are made by Kendra. The specs and
warranty information are in the manufacturer’s manual supplied with this handbook.
Information for this tire can be found on the placard placed on the side of the trailer. This
placard includes the following:
Front, Rear, and Spare Tire Size
Cold Tire Pressure
Max Cargo Weight
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
VIN number
Trailer Model number
The tire size, maximum tire pressure, and load limit for the tire are also displayed on the
sidewall of each tire.
13.2. Tire Maintenance
Along with the components in the Jetter, the tires need regular maintenance. Listed below are
a few measures that can be used to help maintain the tires.
(H&S Section 21)
Tire Pressure
– Always keep the tire at the cold tire pressure listed by the tire
manufacturer. Internal air pressure will increase as the tire temperature increases
which can cause over inflation if the cold pressure is too high. If the pressure becomes
too high, press the valve stem until the correct pressure is reached.
Tire Tread
- Tire tread is very essential to any tire. If the tread is below 1/16 of an
inch, it needs to be replaced. Tread indicators on the bottom of the tire will show when
it needs to be replaced. They are in the in the bottom of the tread grooves and if they
are even with the outside of the tread, the tire needs to be replaced. Make sure that
the spare is the same size as the tires on the trailer.
Tire Balance
– Tires need to be aligned and balanced to prevent any sort of shaking
and vibrations that the trailer could experience. Having both done will help preserve
the life of the tire.
Tire Repair
– Plugging a hole and patching the area around it is a simple option if
there is a puncture in the tire. This can only be performed if the hole is in the tread
and not in the sidewall. If it is beyond this repair option, the spare will need to be put
on and the tire must be replaced.
