Dry nitrogen (N
2
) gas is recommended for inflation
of tires. If the tires were originally inflated with air,
nitrogen is still preferred for adjusting the pressure.
Nitrogen mixes properly with air.
Nitrogen inflated tires reduce the potential of a tire
explosion, because nitrogen does not support
combustion. Also, nitrogen helps prevent oxidation
and the resulting deterioration of rubber and
corrosion of rim components.
Proper nitrogen inflation equipment and training in
its use are necessary to avoid over-inflation. A tire
blowout or rim failure can result from improper or
misused equipment.
Stand behind the tread and use a self-attaching
chuck when inflation a tire.
Servicing, changing tires and rims can be
dangerous and should be done only by trained
personnel using proper tools and procedures. If
correct procedures are not followed while servicing
tires and rims, the assemblies could burst with
explosive force and cause serious personal injury
or death. Follow carefully the specific information
provided by your tire or rim servicing personnel or
dealer.

Warning Signs and Labels
Your DAEWOO lift truck has the following tipover
warning decals.
Make sure that you can read all safety signs. Clean
or replace these if you cannot read the words or
see the pictures. When cleaning the labels use a
cloth, water and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline,
etc. You must replace a label if it is damaged,
missing or cannot be read. If a label is on a part
that is replaced, make sure a new label is installed
on the replaced part. See you DAEWOO Lift Truck
dealer for new labels.
The most effective method of preventing serious
injury or death to yourself or others is to familiarize
yourself with the proper operation of the lift truck, to
be alert, and to avoid actions or conditions which
can result in an accident.

Tipover can occur if the truck is improperly
operated. In the event of tipover, injury or death
could result.
