Service Tires Safely
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts
can cause serious injury or death.
•
Do NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you
have the proper equipment and experience
to perform the job.
•
Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
•
Do NOT inflate the tires above the
recommended pressure.
• Never weld or heat a wheel and tire
assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a tire
explosion. Welding can structurally
weaken or deform the wheel.
•
When inflating the tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long enough to
allow you to stand to one side and NOT in
front of over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
•
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts,
bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug
bolts and nuts. NEVER fill a damaged tire
or one that is missing lug bolts or nuts.
NOTE! This section covers general safety. Some items may not apply to this type of machine.
Pay Close Attention to Notes
•
Throughout the manual, information that
needs to be emphasized is set apart with
either a "NOTE!" or "IMPORTANT!"
heading.
•
Please be sure to carefully read this
information, as it usually indicates a
situation that could cause machine
damage.
Maintain Your Machine
•
It is crucial you maintain your machine in
proper working condition.
•
Perform all scheduled maintenance and
repairs in a timely manner.
•
Do NOT perform unauthorized
modifications to the machine as these
could impair the function and/or safety of
the machine and affect machine life.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors, self-propelled
equipment and towed implements or
attachments can create hazards when
driven on public roads. They are difficult to
see, especially at night.
•
Whenever you drive on public roads, use
flashing lights and turn signals according
to local regulations.
•
To increase visibility, use the lights and
devices provided with your machine.
•
Keep safety items in good condition.
•
Replace missing or damaged items.
