INTRODUCTION
Wheels and tires
Make sure that tires are correctly inflated. Do not exceed any recommended load or pressure. Follow the instructions
in the manual for proper tire inflation.
Tires are heavy. Handling tires without proper equipment could cause death or serious injury.
Never weld on a wheel with a tire installed. Always remove the tire completely from the wheel prior to welding.
Always have a qualified tire technician service the tires and wheels. If a tire has lost all pressure, take the tire and
wheel to a tire shop or your dealer for service. Explosive separation of the tire can cause serious injury.
DO NOT weld to a wheel or rim until the tire is completely removed. Inflated tires can generate a gas mixture with
the air that can be ignited by high temperatures from welding procedures performed on the wheel or rim. Removing
the air or loosening the tire on the rim (breaking the bead) will NOT eliminate the hazard. This condition can exist
whether tires are inflated or deflated. The tire MUST be completely removed from the wheel or rim prior to welding
the wheel or rim.
