Driveline
See the driveshaft manufacturer's
operator's manual for lubrication
specifications and service intervals.
WARNING
Improper lubrication of U-joints can
cause
them to fail prematurely. The
driveshaft could separate from the ve-
hicle and result in an accident. Make
sure lubricant is purged at all four ends
of each U-joint and loosen caps if nec-
essary. Also, regularly inspect U-joints
for excessive wear or movement, and
repair or replace as necessary. Failure
to comply may result in death, person-
al injury, equipment or property dam-
age.
Tires
Y
our tires are a very important part of your
vehicle’s whole braking system. How fast
you can stop depends mostly on how much
friction you get between the road and your
tires. In addition, keeping your tires in good
condition is essential to the safe, efficient
operation of your vehicle. Regular, frequent
inspection and the right care will give you
the assurance of safe and reliable tire
operation. Here are some tips on
maintaining your tires.

WARNING
DO NOT repair damaged tires unless
you
are fully qualified and equipped to
do so. Wheel and tire assemblies can-
not be worked on without proper tools
and equipment, such as: safety cages
or restraining devices. Have all tire re-
pairs performed by an expert. Stand
away from the tire assembly while the
expert is working. Failure to do this
may result in death or injury.
Checking Inflation Pressure
Low pressure is a tire’s worst enemy.
Underinflation allows tires to flex
improperly, causing high temperatures to
build up. Heat causes early tire damage
