Tire Inflation Guidelines
Check and inflate the tires as follows:
1
Remove the cap from the inflation valve.
2
Connect a tire inflating gun to the inflation valve, check the tire pressure:
−
For the nose wheel tire, make sure the pressure is between 58.0 and 61.0 psig (4.0
and 4.2 bar)
−
For the main wheel tires, make sure the pressure is between 73.0 and 76.5 psig
(5.0 and 5.24 bar).
3
Disconnect the tire inflating gun.
4
Install the cap on the inflation valve.
Note
If the ambient temperature decrease, between the last servicing of the tire and the coldest
expected operation of the tire, is more than 59 °F (15 °C) it is recommended that the tire
pressure is increased by the value given in the following table.
