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 Recreation 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.
™
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.
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.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each
trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on
the Federal Certification label, to determine the correct tire pressure. Under-
inflation may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss of control, in
-
jury, death or property damage.
Changing A Tire
If you experience a flat tire on your motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home to a safe place on the side of the road.
Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualified service facility for assis
-
tance.
Do not attempt to change the tire or jack the motor home up yourself
.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide informa-
tion regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened to the
proper torque.

The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace the
tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualified technician.
The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death.
DO NOT AT-
TEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.

When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specifications.
