If the operation of the tire or wheel rim goes wrong, tires may burst or rupture, wheel rim
may be damaged and spread around, may result in serious injury or death.
In order to ensure the security of maintenance work, the following precautions should be
complied with:
Maintenance, demolition, repairs and installation of tire and rim requires special
equipment and expertise, so it is necessary to have it done in the tire repair shop.
Use only the specified tires, charge to the required pressure.
During tire inflation, other unrelated persons are not allowed to enter the work area.
Stand by the side of the tire and use automatic working clamp, check the inflation
pressure occasionally so that it will not be too high.
If the rim is not installed correctly, when the tire inflated, the wheel rim may be
damaged or spread about. Therefore, it is necessary to place shield around the tire,
and do not work in the front of the rim but beside the tire.
When the abnormal decline in tire pressure or irregular match of the rim and the tire,
which indicate there is problem in tire or wheel rim. In this case, it is necessary to seek
help from the tire repair shop.
After high-speed driving or heavy-load operation, do not adjust inflation pressure.
Tire filled with gas can explode because of heat and robust to the inner gas of the tire.
This heat always comes from warm-up or welding to the wheel rim, external flame, or
brake too often, which cause inflation or robust of gas suffered from heating.
Tire explosion is much powerful than disinflation that can cause tire, wheel rim, and
eventually transmission parts flying 500 meters away from the machine. Explosive
force and fragments of the explosion can lead to casualties and property damage.
Recommend to fill the tire with nitrogen. If the tire is filled with air, it is recommended to
use nitrogen to adjust gas pressure, and nitrogen can mix with atmospheric gas. Tire
filled with nitrogen will decrease the possibility of explosion, for nitrogen is
incombustible, besides this, nitrogen can prevent the oxidation and aging of rubber
and corrosion of wheel rim parts.
