Service Every 50 Hours or Weekly
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.
Whenever possible, trained personnel should
service and mount tires. To avoid possible
death or serious injury, follow the safety pre-
cautions below:
1. BE SURE the rim is clean and free of rust.
2. Lubricate both the tire beads and rim
flanges with a soap solution. DO NOT use oil
or grease.
3. DO NOT place your fingers on the tire bead
or rim during inflation. Use a clip-on tire chuck
with a remote hose and gauge which allows
you to stand clear of the tire while inflating it.
4. NEVER inflate beyond 35 PSI (240 kPa) to
seat the beads. If the beads have not seated
by the time the pressure reaches 35 PSI (240
kPa), deflate the assembly, reposition the tire
on the rim, relubricate both parts and re-
inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 PSI (240
kPa) with unseated beads may break the bead
or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause
death or serious injury.
5. After seating the beads, adjust the inflation
pressure to the recommended operating pres-
sure listed.
6. DO NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt
to repair and use a damaged rim.
