Tire Wear/Infl ation
Tire infl ation pressure is the most important factor in tire
life. Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO
NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot!. Check infl ation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.

Suspension
The leaf suspension springs and associated components
(Figure 61) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles
for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components
