Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Tire Pressure
You must follow the manufacturer’s inflation guidelines for maximum load capacity;
under-inflation is just as dangerous as over-inflation.
Proper inflation should be monitored closely. Failure to do so could result in the overheating
of a tire causing a blowout. Inflation pressure should be as recommended by the tire manu -
facturer or as the federal label for the recreation vehicle indicates.
When you are using your Recreational Vehicle, check inflation pressure weekly. Pressure
should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel, tires heat up and pressure increas-
es. Do not bleed air from hot tires or your tires may then be under-inflated.
Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure, which,
under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that
may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.
NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been
used for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire
inflation pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as much as 6 psi
over a cold tire.
