MAINTENANCE Check Tire Pressure and Inflating Tires WARNING When inflating a tire, check that no one will enter the working area and use an air chuck which has a clip and which can be fixed to the air valve. While inflating the tire, check the inflation pressure occasionally so that it will not rise too high. If the rim is not fitted normally, it may be broken and scattered while the tire is inflated. To ensure safety, place a guard around tire and do not work in front of the rim but work on the tread side of the tire. Abnormal drop of inflation pressure and abnormal fitting of the rim indicate a trouble in the tire or rim.
In this case, be sure to ask a tire repair shop to carry out repairs. Be sure to observe the specified inflation pressure. Do not adjust the inflation pressure of the tires after high-speed travel or heavy-duty work. Check Measure the inflation pressure with a tire pressure gauge while the tires are cool before starting work. Inflation of tires Adjust the inflation pressure properly. When inflating a tire, use an air chuck which can be fixed to the valve of the tire. Do not work in front of the rim but work on the tread side of the tire.
Standard tire inflation pressure (front and rear wheels) NOTE The appropriate tire inflation pressure differs according to the type of work, See 12.18.2 TIRE PRESSURE on page 2-76. WA450-3MC 3-37 Tire size Inflation pressure 23.5-25-20PR (L3 rock) (standard) Front tire: 0.39 MPa (4.0 kgf/cm2 ) Rear tire: 0.31 MPa (3.2 kgf/cm2 ) 26.5-25-16PR (L3 rock) (if equipped) Front tire: 0.34 MPa (3.5 kgf/cm2 ) Rear tire: 0.29 MPa (3.0 kgf/cm2 )
