wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.
NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional labour
and/or material cost and should not be carried
out without the authorisation of the customer.
3.Measure the tread depth across the width of the
tyre and around the circumference. Annotate
the maintenance check sheet with the lowest
figure obtained from each tyre.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres should
be advised to the customer before any remedial
work is carried out. This will be subject to
additional labour and/or material cost and
should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
