 Maximum inflation pressure: the maxi- mum permissible cold
tire inflation pres-
sure for this tire.  Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor- mance.
WA R N I N G Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging orworking with the 12V starter battery.  Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working wi
th the 12V starter
