TIRE SAFETY
•
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion which may result in serious injury or death.
•
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do
the job.
•
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should
be called to service and/or mount tires.
•
Always order and install tires and wheels with appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the
anticipated weight to be placed on the equipment.
•
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
•
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck extension hose long enough to allow you to stand
to one side NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
•
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
•
Be sure you have proper tire pressure and the lug nuts are properly tightened. Check wheel
bearings on a regular basis and grease semiannually.
