Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Always maintain your tires in good condition.
Frequently check and maintain correct inflation
pressures as specified by tire manufacturers.
Inspect periodically for abnormal wear patterns
and repair/replace cut or broken tire casing.
Always use experienced, trained personnel with
proper equipment and correct procedures to
mount or remove tires and wheels.
Failure to
adhere to these warnings could result in wheel
or tire malfunction, damage to your vehicle,
personal injury, or death.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, always
follow these instructions when mounting tires on
wheels:
• Only personnel who have had proper training and
experience should mount or remove tires from rims or
wheels.
• Use only heavy-duty rims or approved rims for radial
tires. It may be necessary to contact your wheel and
rim distributor to determine if your rims are approved
for radial tires.
• If a tube is to be used, make sure special radial tire
tubes are used because of the increased flexing of the
sidewalls on radial tires.
• Never use antifreeze, silicones, or petroleum-based
lubricants when mounting radial tires.
Only an
approved lubricant should be used as an aid for
mounting tires.
• Always inflate tires in a safety cage.
