READ INSPECT MOUNT
BE CAREFUL OF THESE SITUATIONS:
1. Damaged Bead or
Beads.
2. Rusty Wheels.
(particularly in the
bead seat area)
3. Bent or Cracked
Wheels.
4 A. Mismatched.
(A mis-match of a
16-inch tire to a 16.5-
inch rim causing an
explosion)
4 B. Mismatched.
(16.5-inch tire on a
16-inch rim)
5. Walk-In Tire and
Rim.
6. Back Injuries.
7. Hand or Finger
Injuries.
(Hands or fingers too
close to inflating tire
or bead seats which
may cause injury.)
8. Standing Clear.
(Never put any part
of your body over the
tire changer during
inflation.)
9. Beads will not
Seat at 40 PSI.
10. Improper
Inflation.
READ…
Mounting and inflating the
wrong size tire can get
you hurt.
Read
the size on
the tire and make sure it
matches the rim. Be espe-
cially careful about putting
a smaller tire on a larger
rim, such as a 16-inch tire
on a 16.5-inch rim.
Inflation of a mismatched
tire and rim can cause an
explosion.
INSPECT…
Before you put any tire
on a rim,
inspect
the rim
for rust, tough spots, bent
edges, or cracks that could
prevent the tire from seat-
ing right. If you spot any
of these problems, don’t
mount the tire until the rim
has been checked by your
shop foreman.
Inspect
the tire for bead
damage.
MOUNT…
Once you’ve made sure the tire is OK
and the right size and the rim is OK,
mount
the tire safely. NEVER, ever lean
over the tire when you’re inflating it. If
a tire does explode, it will go straight
up. You don’t want to be over the tire
if that happens. Also, never over-inflate
the tire, even if the bead doesn’t seat.
Never inflate over 40 PSI. If the tire
hasn’t seated, something is wrong.
Deflate the tire and check it and the
rim again. If it doesn’t work the second
time, try another tire.
