MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
Payload and Tire Pressure
Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or
observe payload limits for your tires can change or
impair handling and performance of the vehicle. The
maximum recommended load carrying capacity is
603 kg (1 330 lb).
Use a tire pressure gauge to accurately set tire
pressure.
WARNING
Operating with unequally or improperly pres-
surized tires can adversely affect steering or
handling. Inflate both front tires to the same
pressure and both rear tires to the same
pressure.
Tire Wear, Damage
As tire tread wears down, tires become more sus-
ceptible to puncture and failure.
In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance
Chart, measure the depth of the tread with a
depth gauge, and replace any tire that has worn
down to the minimum allowable tread depth.
A. Tire Depth Gauge
Minimum Tread Depth: 3 mm (0.12 in.)
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replac-
ing the tire in case of bad damage. Swelling or
high spots indicate internal damage, requiring tire
replacement.
Remove any imbedded stones or other foreign
particles from the tread.
