If the recreational vehicle is stored for any
length of time, the air pressure should be
checked prior to storage. More importantly,
check the tire pressure when it is removed
from storage. Check the tire pressure when the
tires are “cold” and have not been driven for
more than one mile.
The stated load capacity for a given cold
inflation pressure is based on ambient outside
temperature. If the tires must be checked
when they are warm or hot, allow for a slight
increase in air pressure and make sure they are
within a couple of pounds of each other on the
same axle.
CAUTION:
Never let air out of a hot tire.
When checking the inflation pressure in the
tires, use a quality truck tire air gauge which
has an angle dual head. Nothing should restrict
the ability to check tire air pressure daily
when traveling with the recreational vehicle.
Pressure sealing valve caps should always be
used to prevent air from escaping from the
valve stem. If there are valve stem extension
hoses, make sure they are good quality
stainless steel braid reinforced and are securely
anchored to the wheel.
Optimum tire performance is achieved with
proper inflation pressures for the loads being
carried. Check and correct tire air pressure
prior to travel or daily if in full-time use.
Never mix different sized or constructed tires.
WARNING:
Improperly inflated tires can effect
handling or cause sudden tire failure
possibly resulting in loss of control.
Always use an accurate tire pressure
gauge when checking tire pressure.
WARNING:
For safety purposes, clear the area of
people and pets during tire inflation.
Inflate tires using a remote inflation
device.
Over-Inflation Can Cause:
Hard ride.
Tire bruising or carcass damage.
Rapid tread wear at center of tire.
Under-Inflation Can Cause:
Tire squeal on turns.
Reduced handling.
Rapid, uneven wear on the edges of the
tread.
Separations.
Tire rim bruises and rupture.
Circumferential breaks.
Tire cord breakage.
Higher risk of road hazard.
High tire temperatures.
Loss of casing durability.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle.
Uneven braking, swerve on
acceleration.
Steering lead, torque steer.
Reduced handling.
