ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
TIRE SAFTEY INFORMATION CONTINUED
FREQUENCY OF CHECKING TIRE INFLATION PRESSUES CONTINUED
To make these tire pressure measurements, it is recommended that you purchase a high quality,
truck tire air gauge which has an angled dual head. This type of gauge allows you to check
inflation pressures of both the inner dual wheel which has the valve stem pointing towards one
and on the outer wheel which has the valve stem pointing away from one. Pressure sealing
valve caps should always be used to protect the valve stems and prevent air from escaping from
the valve stems.
TIRE WEAR, BALANCE, AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT
In addition to tire inflation considerations, the tires should also be periodically examined for
other types of normal "wear and tear". If installed and maintained properly, all tires mounted
on the motorhome should wear in a smooth and even pattern.
If the tires begin to show irregular wear patterns and the motorhome alignment is still correct,
then sometimes having the tires rotated and changing their wheel position will allow the tires to
wear evenly. Check the chassis manufacturer (Power Glide) and its literature in the Owners
Information Package for particulars on maintaining proper wheel alignment.
TIRE CLEANING
Proper cleaning of the tires will assure maximum years of service. A soft brush and a normal
mild soap should be used to clean the tires. Use care in applying any tire "dressing" product as
these contain petroleum derivatives, alcohol or silicones which may cause deterioration of the
rubber.
This could lead to cracking and accelerate the aging process. In many instances it isnt the
actual dressing itself, but the reaction of the product with the antioxidant in the tire. Heat can
compound this problem also.
