1971 CHEVROLET CAMARO tires

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine least once a month (and preferably
more often) to insure that the right
amount of air
is contained in the
tires. With regard to tire life, too
little air pressure allows abnormal
deflection of the tire causing exces­
sive operating temperatures, while
too much air pressure prevents
normal deflection, making the cord
body more vulnerable to road im­
pacts.
Use of optional inflations
is al­
lowable only with a reduced load
(one to four passengers). When
operating at loads greater than the
optional reduced load, the inflation
pressure
must be increased to the
standard inflation for full rated
loads.
1. Tire inflation pressure may in­
crease
as much as 6 pounds per
square inch (psi) when hot.
2.
For continuous high speed oper- ation
(over 75 mph) increase
tire inflation pressure 4 pounds
per square inch over the recom­
mended pressures up to a maxi­
mum of 32 pounds per square
inch cold for load range B tires. Sustained
speeds above 75 mph
are not recommended when the
4 pounds per square inch adjust­
ment would require pressures
greater than the maximum
stated above.

after vehicle has been inopera­
tive for 3 hours
or more, or
driven less than 1 mile. Hot tire
inflation pressure:
after vehicle
has been driven
10 miles or at
speeds of more than
60 miles
per hour.
4. Vehicles with luggage racks do
not have a vehicle load limit
greater than specified.
5. When towing trailers, the allow­
able passenger and cargo load
must be reduced by
an amount
equal to the trailer tongue load
on the trailer hitch.
Tire Rotation
To equalize wear It IS recom­
mended that the tires be rotated
every
6,000 miles. Upon rotation, tire
pressure must be adjusted
(front
and rear) in accordance
tire inflation placard.

Battery Care (Energizer)
Check fluid level monthly utiliz­
ing the level indicator cap marked
"Delco Eye". If the transparent eye
within the cap glows, fluid level
is
64
low. Add only colorless, odorless
drinking water
or distilled water to
bring level to split ring in filler
opening.
Battery-Gas Warning-Since nor­
mal battery
or Energizer chemical
action generates hydrogen gas
which
is explosive when mixed
with air, never expose the battery
to an open flame
or electric spark.
Also, avoid getting battery fluid,
which
is a sulfuric acid solution, on
skin, on clothing
or other fabric,
or on painted surfaces. Eye pro­
tection should be worn while
working on the battery for any rea­
son.
For maximum wattage re­
quirements, specify a Delco Ener­
gizer at replacement time.
