206 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Tyres
DANGER
Tyres used on multipiece rims must
be assembled and inflated only by
experienced, qualified personnel. Tyres
must be inflated in a safety cage whenever
possible. If, however, a safety cage is not
available, use a portable lock-ring guard.
The tyre must be deflated prior to removal
of the tyre-and-rim assembly from the
vehicle. Remove the valve core to ensure
complete deflation.
DANGER
NEVER position your body in front of the
rim during inflation.
CAUTION
NEVER use water-based sealants,
puncture proofing, or liquid balance
materials containing water in All-Steel
Radial Ply truck tyres.
Inflation Pressure
To ensure maximum mileage and overall performance from your tyres, it is essential that
they operate at the correct inflation pressure for the load carried. Inflation pressure should
be checked daily while the tyres are cold. Always use an accurate tyre pressure gauge.
NEVER bleed air from a hot tyre, as it will then be underinflated. Refer to the specific
tyre manufacturer’s data books, or to the vehicle certification label for a complete listing
of tyre inflation pressures. For additional information concerning tyre care, refer to the
Maintenance and Lubrication Manual .
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should
you drive on underinflated or overloaded
tyres. A tyre in this condition builds up
excessive heat which can result in sudden
tyre destruction, property damage and
personal injury.
CAUTION
Never bleed air from your tyres in an
attempt to gain traction for a vehicle stuck
in snow, ice or mud. This practice provides
no additional traction and typically results
in underinflated tyres. Never bleed air
from a hot tyre since that tyre will then be
underinflated.
To adjust for pressure fluctuations induced by temperature changes associated with winter
weather, it is recommended that tyre inflation pressure be checked daily when the tyres are
cold (i.e., before the vehicle is driven). Always use an accurate tyre pressure gauge.
