INSPECTION
(a)
Axle
•
Visually inspect the axle to make sure there are no cracks or
grooves.
(b)
Tire and Tube
•
Visually inspect the tires inside and outside for cuts, uneven or
excessive wear, and penetration by foreign objects.
•
Visually inspect the inner tube for wear, cuts, or cracks. Pay close
attention to the valve stem base.
•
The tire should be removed when the tread is worn to the base of a
groove. Tires with wear through the top fabric layer can only remain
in service long enough to return to a maintenance base to be
replaced.
