Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the
trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are
properly matched.
CAUTION:
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a
wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to
correct a leak
through the rim.
If the rim is
cracked, the air
pressure in the inner tube may
cause pieces of the rim to explode
(break off) with great force and
cause serious eye or bodily injury.
Tire Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT
bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.
Table 2 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
CAUTION:
NOTE
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing
or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply
may result in serious injury.
