manner.
• Always use eye and ear protection while using
compressed air and air tools.

Service Tires Safely

WARNING
• Always wear safety glasses or goggles.
• Use proper lifting methods when working with wheels
and tires.
• When working on an inflated tire, never position
yourself directly over the work area.
• When dismounting or mounting tires, use a wheel
holder or tire machine. Use proper tire mounting tools
and equipment. Never use screwdrivers or makeshift
tools to force a tire on or off a wheel.
• Be sure tire irons and mounting tools are free of
grease and oil. Grip them firmly.
• Inspect wheel parts for rust, damage, or distortion.
Never use wheels that are out-of-round, rusted, or
cracked.
• Never hammer on wheels with a steel hammer. Use
rubber-covered hammers.
• When inflating tires, always use an inflation cage.
Always stand away from the valve stem.
• Use accurate, tested inflation gauges to set air
pressures.
Always wear approved eye and ear protection
while using compressed air. Misuse of
compressed air could result in death or serious
injury.
• When using air nozzles, air pressure should
not exceed 30 psi (206.8 kPa).
• Never direct air nozzles or tools at a person.
• Never point air nozzles directly at skin.
An inflated tire contains explosive force. Use care
when handling wheels and tires.
