5.3 TIRES ___________________________________________________________________
Keep tires properly inflated to prolong tire life and
maintain proper traction. Check inflation pressure while
the tires are cool. Inspect tread wear. Check tire pressure
with an accurate, low pressure tire gauge.
Keep inflation pressure between 10-12 psi -
(69-83 kPa)
Mounting Wheels
1. Remove dirt, grease and oil from bolt threads. Do not
lubricate threads.
2. Position wheel on hub and inspect to insure full
contact between the mounting surface (seat pads) of
wheel and mounting surface of hub or brake drum.
3. Start all wheel bolts but do not tighten.
4. Finger tighten top nut, then rotate wheel so that the
opposite nut is at the top and finger tighten. Finger
tighten remaining nuts in (criss-cross) order; always
tighten nuts in top position. Finish mounting wheel by
tightening nuts with torque wrench to 65-85 ft. lbs.
(88-115 Nm).

chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not
raised.

Unless you have the proper train-
ing, tools and experience, DO NOT attempt to
mount a tire on a rim. Improper mounting can pro-
duce an explosion which may result in serious
injury.

steam. Never spray water directly on the
