Saf ety Precautions
A manually operated tyre pump should be used rather than the high
pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the
possibility of tyre damage from overinflation. If you use a high pressure
system at a service station, add air in small amounts and check the
pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tyre damage from
overinflation.
Refer to on page .
Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also look for:
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace any tyre
that has a bump or bulge.
Cuts, slits, or cracks in the tyres. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric
or cord.
Nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side of the tyre or
tread.
Excessive tread wear.
