MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
°
Installation of tubeless tires on rims requires com-
pressed air and is normally recommended as a
dealer service operation.
Nevertheless, a tube
can be inserted into the tire by the operator as an
emergency repair.
Maximum Tire Air Pressure for Seating Beads
Front and Rear
250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm´, 36 psi)
Payload and Tire Pressure
Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or
observe payload limits for your tires can change or
impair handling and performance of the vehicle. The
maximum recommended load carrying capacities is
503 kg (1 110 lb).
Use a tire pressure gauge to accurately set tire
pressure.
WARNING
Operating with unequally or improperly pres-
surized tires can adversely affect steering or
handling. Inflate both front tires to the same
pressure and both rear tires to the same
pressure.
Tire Wear, Damage
As tire tread wears down, tires become more sus-
ceptible to puncture and failure.
In
accordance
with
the
Periodic
Maintenance
Chart, measure the depth of the tread with a
depth gauge, and replace any tire that has worn
down to the minimum allowable tread depth.
A. Tire Depth Gauge
Minimum Tread Depth
Front Tire
4 mm (0.16 in.)
Rear Tire
4 mm (0.16 in.)
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replac-
ing the tire in case of bad damage.
Swelling or
high spots indicate internal damage, requiring tire
replacement.
Remove any imbedded stones or other foreign
particles from the tread.
