Tire Pressure

Personal injury can result from improper tire inflation. A tire blowout or rim failure can result from improper or misused equipment. Use a self-inflating chuck and stand behind the tread when inflating a tire. Proper inflating equipment, and training in using the equipment, are necessary to avoid overinflating. Before inflating tire, put the tire in a restraining device.

The tire inflation pressures that are shown in the following table are cold inflation pressures. Tire inflation pressures for each application may vary. These tire inflation pressures should be obtained from your tire supplier. Stand behind the tire tread and use an inflation chuck on the air line with a Caterpillar 4S-6524 Pressure Gauge, or 1P-0545 Pressure Gauge. If these pressure gauges are not available use an equivalent tool to check the tire pressure.
