Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
note: air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate tires
can fill small tires similar to these very
rapidly. adjust pressure regulator on
air supply to no more than the rating
of the tire pressure. add air in small
increments and frequently use the
tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
•
On pressure washers rated above
1600 psi (110 bar) use the wid-
est fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep
the spray a minimum of 8" (20 cm)
from the pneumatic tire sidewall. do
not aim spray directly at the joint
