Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed. Welding will make an air/gas mixture that can cause an
explosion and burn with high temperatures. This hazard applies to all tires, inflated or deflated. Removing
air or breaking the bead is not enough. The tire must be completely removed from the rim prior to welding.
When preparing a calcium chloride solution for fluid ballast the tractor tires, never pour water onto the
calcium chloride. A chlorine gas can be generated which is poisonous and explosive. This can be avoided
by slowly adding calcium chloride flakes to water and stirring until they are dissolved.
When seating tire beads onto rims, never exceed 2.4 bar (35 psi) or the maximum inflation pressure
specified on the tire. Inflation beyond this maximum pressure may break the bead, or even the rim, with
explosive force.
