Torques and tire pressures

Session 1: Pre-Inspection Preparation

Review the vehicle's maintenance records for previous torque and tire pressure checks.

Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface and is cool to the touch before starting.

Session 2: Torque Inspection

Identify the correct torque specifications from the vehicle’s service manual or manufacturer guidelines.

Inspect all lug nuts/bolts for signs of corrosion or damage before applying torque.

Use the torque wrench to check the tightness of lug nuts/bolts, following the manufacturer's specified pattern (star or crisscross).

Record the torque values for each lug nut/bolt for future reference.

Session 3: Tire Pressure Inspection

Check the vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual for the recommended tire pressure for each tire.

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire when they are cold (before driving).

Compare the measured pressures to the recommended values and note any discrepancies.

Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to achieve the recommended pressure.

Session 4: Post-Inspection Follow-Up

Re-check the torque of lug nuts/bolts after the first 50-100 miles of driving following any service or tire change.

Schedule routine tire pressure checks as part of the regular vehicle maintenance program (e.g., monthly).

Document all findings, adjustments made, and any maintenance performed in the vehicle's service log.

Educate drivers about the importance of regular checks and how to inspect tire pressure and torque levels themselves.

Session 5: Continuous Improvement

Review the checklist periodically to update any steps based on new practices or technologies.

Conduct training sessions for staff on proper torque and tire pressure maintenance techniques.

Monitor vehicle performance and tire wear patterns to identify any recurring issues related to torque and pressure.

This checklist aims to provide a comprehensive approach to ensuring proper torque and tire pressure maintenance in transportation organizations through structured sessions.
