WARNING
•
Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bulg-
ing or objects caught in the
tread. If excessive wear, cracks,
bulging or deep cuts are found,
the tire(s) should be replaced.
•
The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
•
Tires degrade with age and use.
Have tires, over 6 years old
checked by a qualified techni-
cian, because some tire damage
may not be obvious. Replace the
tires as necessary to prevent tire
failure and possible personal in-
jury.
