Tire Inspection
Maintenance Schedule - Inspect every 25 hours of vehicle operation.
Inspect the tires for:
• proper tire inflation pressure
• valve stem condition
• good bead contact with rim
• loose wheel nuts
• cuts, puntures, excessive wear, etc.
• leakage around the tire seal
• bead damage
• damaged wheel rims and wheel hubs
Replace damaged or worn tires immediately. When a pressure leak is suspected,
locate it by spraying around the tire with a leak locating solution or placing in a tank
of water.
To repair or replace a tire you will need to remove it from the rim.
Use of a non-standard tire on any Argo model will affect the steering characteristics
of the vehicle. Serious injury could result.
Tire Repair and Replacement
Temporary Repair
To temporarily repair a punctured tire, use the plug method. A plug kit, available from
most automotive parts stores, will provide the parts, tools and instructions to carry out the
repair.
General Tire Repair
To more permanently repair a damaged or punctured tire, apply a radial tire patch to the
inside of the tire if the damage is less than 1/2" (12mm) in diameter. This type of kit is
also available from most automotive stores.
