ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED
FREQUENCY OF CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
When you have determined the "correct" tire inflation pressures for each of the motorhome
tires and inflated the tires under "cold" conditions, meaning the tires haven't been driven for
more than one mile, then the air pressures in the tires should be periodically checked to make
sure that they keep their proper pressure.
It is recommended that tire pressures be checked at least once a month or preferably every two
weeks and before any major trip.
On long trips, the tires should be checked every "drive" morning. On short trips (a day or less),
the tires should be checked before one departs on the trip and again before one returns home.
Check tire pressures whe n they are "cold"; that is tires haven't been driven at all or at most, less
than one mile before being measured. In this manner, the tire pressure has not been increased
by the heating associated with tire sidewall and tread flexure associated with traveling.
If you check tires that are warm or hot, remember that they will necessarily read higher than
normal. Do not "bleed" these tires down to "cold pressure"readings as they will probably be
under inflated when they are actually cool. Do not make any adjustments to tire pressures when
the tires are warm or hot, if such can be avoided.
