Do not exceed manufacturer's recommended pressure to
seat beads. Exceeding recommended bead seat pressure
can cause tire rim assembly to burst, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00282a)

kPa) maximum.
2. Inspect the bead around both sides of the rim.
Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified
on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00027a)
