Tire Inflation Information
WARNING
An inflated tire and rim can be very
dangerous if improperly used, serviced
or maintained. To reduce the risk of
serious injury, never attempt to re-inflate a tire which
has been run flat or seriously under-inflated without
first removing the tire from the wheel assembly
for inspection. Do not attempt to add air to tires or
replace tires or wheels without first taking precautions
to protect persons and property.
All tires with Steel Carcass Plies (if equipped):
This type of tire utilizes steel cords in the sidewalls.
As such, they cannot be treated like normal light truck
tires. Tire service, including adjusting tire pressure,
must be performed by personnel trained, supervised
and equipped according to Federal Occupational
Safety and Health Administration regulations.
For example, during any procedure involving tire
inflation, the technician or individual must utilize a
remote inflation device, and ensure that all persons
are clear of the trajectory area.

diagram on the next page.
