TIRE CARE
Checking Tire Pressure
Note: Under-inated tires can decrease
handling, stopping performance,
traction, tire life, and load-carrying
capability, in addition to causing other
negative and hazardous effects,
including tire failure. Overinated
tires are at greater risk of an impact
break, where the tread and casing
break when striking a hard edge,
often opening a huge gash across
the tread. Incorrect ination pressure also increases tires wear rate.
Therefore, it is important to keep tires
inated properly.
Check all tires’ pressure at least
monthly, due to the following factors:
Most tires naturally lose air gradu-•
ally.
Tires can lose air if tire strikes pot-•
hole, curb, or other object.
It is usually not possible to deter-•
mine under inflation of radial tires
by visual inspection.
Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire
Pressure
Locate recommended tire pressure 1.
on vehicle’s tire information placard,
certication label, or in owner’s manual. This trailer has 60 PSI recom-
mended cold tire ination pressure.
Measure and record the tire pressure 2.
of all tires.
If tire pressure is too high in any of 3.
the tires and the tires have not been
driven for at least three hours, slowly
release air by gently pressing on the
tire valve stem with the edge of your
tire gauge until you get to the correct
pressure. If the vehicle have been
driven within the past three hours and
the tire pressure is too high on any
tires, then recheck the pressure once
the tires have been allowed to sit motionless for at least three hours.
If tire pressure is too low, note the dif-4.
ference between measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure.
These “missing” pounds of pressure
are what you will need to add.
This vehicle has 60 PSI recom-
mended cold tire ination pressure. The
term “cold” in this manual does not refer
to the temperature outside, but it refers to
the fact that a tire that has not been driven
for a period is cooler (and therefore has
lower pressure) than a tire that has been
driven on. Tires heat up while being driven
on. To check (or ll to) a tire’s cold ination, the tire must have not been driven for
more than a mile or two for at least three
hours. If you check a tires pressure when
it is not “cold”, the pressure will appear
higher than the actual cold tire ination.
SKU 66771 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 13
At a service station, add the missing 5.
pounds of air pressure to each tire
that is under inated.
Check all the tires to make sure they 6.
have the same air pressure.
If the tires’ pressure was not mea-7.
sured “cold”, then the pressure
should be rechecked with the tires
cold as soon as possible.

To maintain safety, only purchase
new tires of same size as original tires.
Look at Tire and Loading Information Plac-
ard, Specications Chart in this manual,
or the sidewall of the tire being replaced.
If you have any doubt about selecting the
correct size, consult a tire dealer.
Tire Tread
The tire tread provides traction that
prevents your vehicle from slipping, especially if the road is wet or icy. Tires are
unsafe and should be replaced when the
tread is worn down to 1/16”. Measure
tread depth using a tread depth indicator
(not included).
Tire Rotation
Every 5,000 miles left and right tires
should be switched. This will cause the
tires to wear more evenly and last longer.
The tires need to be balanced to prevent vibration when driving. This involves
attaching small weights to the rim to offset
small differences in rim and tire weight.
The tires also need to be aligned properly.
Alignment is the orientation of the tires to
the road surface and their being parallel.
This helps the tires to wear evenly, and
provide better traction. Both tire balance
and alignment require specialized equipment that is not provided with this vehicle.
Tire Repair
To properly repair a punctured tire,
the hole needs to be properly plugged
and patched from inside of the tire. Tread
punctures can be repaired if they are not
too large. Sidewall punctures should not
be repaired, the tire needs to be replaced
if sidewall is damaged. Tires should be
removed from rim to be inspected before
being plugged and patched. A qualied
mechanic should remove tire from rim,
perform the repair, and remount the tire.

VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement “The weight 1.
of cargo should never exceed XXX
kilograms or XXX pounds” on your
vehicle’s placard.
That gure equals available amount 2.
of cargo and luggage load capacity.
Determine the combined weight of 3.
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity.
If the trailer’s load exceeds the cargo 4.
and luggage load capacity, then the
trailer be unsafe resulting in hazard-
ous effects, such as: Trailer’s tires
will not be able to maintain traction
properly, and stopping distance will
be increased signicantly.
