TIRE INSPECTION
§
Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.
If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the
specified pressure.
Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
Visual check tires for frontal and lateral side walls for
crack or damage.
Visual check tires for any nails or small stones wedged
in the tread.
Check the “tread wear indicator” condition to see if
tread groove depth is insufficient.
A tire with a wear bar showing is worn out and should
be replaced immediately.
CAUTION:
Abnormal tire pressure, wear, or crack is the most important cause that results in the loss control
of the steering handle and a punctured tire(s).
