INFLATION

Correct
tire

is

very
impor

tant
for

com

fort
Correct

pressure
also
makes
for

a

quieter
ride

and
extends
tire
life

If

all
tires

are

inspected
frequently

and
maintained

at
correct

pressure

any

sharp
objects
in

can
be

quickiy
detected
nd
abnormal

wear

which
invites
serious

problems
can
be

avoided

After

inflating
tires
valves

should

be
checked
for

leakage
Without

valve

caps
leakage
will
occur

due
to
dirt
and

resulting
in

Ac

cordingly
whenever

TIRE

ROTATION

Tires
tend

to
wear

unevenly
and

become
unbalanced
after
a
certain

running
distance
Uneven

tire
wear

often
results
in
tire
noise
which
is

attributed
to

rear
axle

gears
bearing

etc

Front
tires
also

tend
to
wear

unevenly
because
of

improperly
align

ed
front

wheels

Accordingly
to

equalize
tire
wear

it
is

necessary
to
rotate
tires

periodi

cally
as
recommended
in
