The following pages
give more detailed
information on how and when to check the air
pressure, how to inspect your tyres for
damage, and what to do when your tyres need
to be repaired or replaced.
TUBELESS TYRES
The tyres fitted on your vehicles are of
TUBELESS type.
To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres must
be of the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and correctly
inflated for the load you are carrying.
î
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
î
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
regarding tyres inflation and maintenance.
WARNING
!
!
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides
the best combination of handling, tread life
and riding comfort.
Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel
damage in rocky terrain.
We recommend that you visually check your
tyres before every ride and use a gauge to
measure air pressure at least once a month or
Air Pressure
Over-inflated tyres make your vehicle ride
harshly, are more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
Generally, under-inflated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and are more likely
to fail from being overheated.
the vehicle has been ridden for even a few
km-the readings will be higher than if the tyres
were "cold". This is normal, so do not let air
out of the tyres to match the recommended
cold air pressures given below. If you do, the
tyres will be under-inflated.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are
"cold"-when the vehicle has been parked for
at least three hours. If you check air pressure
when your tyres are "warm"-when
any time you think the tyres pressure might be
low. Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing
ability if they are punctured. However,
because leakage is often very slow, you should
look closely for punctures whenever a tyre is
not fully inflated.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
