MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND SERVICE
TIRES, WHEELS AND HUB
Tires
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to repair wheels or tires
unless you are trained and equipped to do
so. Wheel and tire assemblies cannot be
worked on without proper tools and
equipment. Failure to follow this may lead
to serious personal injury or death.
DANGER
DO NOT install regrooved, retreaded or
repaired tires on the steering axle(s). They
could fail unexpectedly and cause the loss
of vehicle control, leading to serious
personal injury or death.
DANGER
DO NOT use mismatched tires on the
same axle. Always use the same type
(radial or bias ply) or size. Mixing tires on
the same axle will affect the roadholding
and can lead to an accident, and serious
personal injury or death.
DANGER
Tires used on multi-piece rims must be
assembled and inflated only by
experienced, qualified personnel. Tires
must be inflated in a safety cage
whenever possible. If, however, a safety
cage is not available, use a portable lock-
ring guard. The tire must be deflated prior
to removal of the tire-and-rim assembly
from the vehicle. Remove the valve core to
ensure complete deflation.
DANGER
NEVER position your body in front of the
rim during inflation.
DANGER
DO NOT install tires with a load rating that
is less than stated on the Certification
Label in the door frame. The tire could be
unintentionally overloaded, leading to an
accident, causing serious personal injury
or death.
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should
you drive on underinflated or overloaded
tires. A tire in this condition builds up
excessive heat which can result in sudden
tire destruction, property damage and
personal injury.
CAUTION
NEVER use water-based sealants,
puncture proofing, or liquid balance
materials containing water in All-Steel
Radial Ply truck tires.
CAUTION
Never bleed air from your tires in an
attempt to gain traction for a vehicle stuck
in snow, ice or mud. This practice
provides no additional traction and
typically results in under inflated tires.
Never bleed air from a hot tire since that
tire will then be under inflated.
Inflation Pressure
To ensure maximum mileage and overall
performance from your tires, it is
essential that they operate at the correct
inflation pressure for the load carried.
Check inflation pressure daily while the
tires are cold. Always use an accurate
tire pressure gauge. Refer to the specific
tire manufacturer's information, or to the
vehicle certification label for a complete
listing of tire inflation pressures.
To adjust for pressure fluctuations
induced by temperature changes
associated with winter weather, check
inflation pressure daily when the tires are
cold (i.e., before the vehicle is driven).
