Inspecting Tires

Check tire condition at least every 100 hours of
operation. Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs,
can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel
alignment, so inspect tire condition after an accident.
Check the wheels to ensure that they are mounted
securely. Torque the front bolts to 183–224 N•m (135
–165 ft.-lbs.) and the rear lug nuts to 61–88 N•m
(45–65 ft.-lbs.).
