Tyres normally lose some air in day-
to-day use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not a
sign of a leaking tyre, but of normal
wear. Always check tyre pressure
when the tyres are cold because tyre
pressure increases with temperature.

If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol-
low these steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top of
the extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentally
pressed.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of
the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)
away from the fire and squeeze the
handle to discharge the extinguish-
er. If you release the handle, the
discharge will stop.
2. Press and hold the gauge against
the tyre valve. Some air will leak as
you begin and more will leak if you
don’t press the gauge in firmly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti-
vate the gauge.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the
gauge to see whether the tyre
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the
specified pressure. Refer to “Tyres
and Wheels” section in chapter 2.
