snow chains FORD SUPER DUTY 2006 1.G Special Service Package Supplement Manual

WHEELS
Your vehicle may be equipped with two-piece bolt-together beadlock
rims. Beadlock rims allow the tires to survive operating at lower air
pressure which provide greater traction due to the larger tire-to-ground
contact area during slow, off-road operation. Always reinflate the tires to
the tire manufacturer's recommendations when no longer in slow,
off-road driving conditions. The beadlock also acts as a safety device
ensuring that the tire does not unseat from the rim or rotate on the
wheel when tire pressure is reduced, while also preventing the entry of
foreign objects, debris or water into the tire's air chamber.
Note:The wheel/tire assemblies should be serviced only by trained
personnel who have read and understand the wheel
assembly/disassembly information contained within theWorkshop
Manual.
SNOW CHAINS
Tire chains cannot be used on vehicles equipped with M/TR tires.
ON-BOARD AIR SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an on-board air system which has been
designed to provide compressed air for multiple uses, including the
addition of air to the vehicle's tires. The system uses a 25 ft. (7.6m)
length of air hose equipped with a clamp-on style air chuck. When not in
use, this hose is secured to the floor of the truck. A compressor,
mounted to the frame under the truck on the passenger side frame rail,
is included along with an air reservoir on the driver side. When the
compressor is on, the output pressure at the air tank is limited to 80 psi
(552 kPa).
The air coupling, to which the hose
is to be connected, is located just
above the floor behind the driver's
seat.
