Check Tire Pressure
(926321, 322, 323, 513)
Check tire pressure and adjust to the
pressure listed on tire sidewall.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive
separation of tire and rim parts is
possible when they are serviced
incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire
without the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and
tire assembly. Heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting
in an explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or deform the
wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the
tire assembly when inflating. Use a
clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow you to stand
to one side.
