12. Tire Rotation
If tires are maintained at the same positions for a long
period of time, uneven wear results. Therefore, they should
be periodically rotated.
This lengthens service life of tires.
CAUTION:
When rotating tires, replace unevenly worn or dam-
aged tires with new ones.
13.“T-type”Tire
“T-type”tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.
CAUTION:
Keep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm
2,
60 psi) at all times.
When the wear indicator appears on the tread
surface, replace the tire with a new one.
Do not use a tire chain with the“T-type”tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit
properly and will result in damage to the vehicle and
the tire.
Do not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h (50
MPH).
Drive as slowly as possible and avoid passing over
bumps.
Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible
since this“T-type”tire is only for temporary use.

rod end to screwed portion of tie-rod, and tighten lock nut
temporarily in a position as shown in figure.

15) Inspect gearbox as follows:
A. Holding tie-rod end, repeat lock to lock two or three
times as quickly as possible.
B. Holding tie-rod end, turn it slowly at a radius one or two
times as large as possible.
After all, make sure that boot is installed in the specified
position without deflation.

NOT GOOD
Adjust or instruct customer.
*1 If tires and/or rims are wider, the load to power steering system is the more. Accordingly, in a
condition, for example before fluid warms-up, relief valve may work before maximum turning angle.
In this case, steering effort may be heavy. When measured hydraulic pressure is normal, there is
no abnormal thing.
*2 In cold weather, steering effort may be heavy due to increased flow resistance of cold fluid. After
warming up engine, turn steering wheel from stop to stop several times to warm up fluid. Then if
steering effort reduces normally, there is no abnormal thing.
*3 In cold weather or with insufficient warm-up of engine, steering effort may be heavy due to exces-
sive drop of idling when turning steering wheel. In this case, it is recommended to start the vehicle
with increasing engine speed than usual. Then if steering effort reduces normally, there is no
abnormal thing. Measure hydraulic pressure.
