CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive 
separation of tire and rim parts is possible 
when they are serviced incorrectly: 

• Do not attempt to mount a tire without 

the proper equipment and experience 
to perform the job. 

• Do not inflate the tires above the 

recommended pressure. 

• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire 

assembly. Heat can cause an increase 
in air pressure resulting in an 
explosion. Welding can structurally 
weaken or deform the wheel. 

• Do not stand in front or over the tire 

assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on 
chuck and extension hose long enough 
to allow you to stand to one side.
