parts can cause serious injury or death.
Always follow the service outlet or see
your tire supplier.
�
Do not inflate tires with flammable
gases or from systems utilizing an
alcohol injector.
�
Never cut or weld on a wheel with an
inflated tire mounted on it. This could
cause explosive decompression.
�
Always use a safety cage or cable
restraints when reinflating a repaired
tire.
�
A rise in tire pressure during operation is
normal, and should NOT be reduced.

Always maintain the correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate the tires above

discloses a tire that is continuously losing air,
a leak is indicated and must be repaired.

embedded in tires.

Mismatched duals. Diameters should be
equal as well as amount of tread wear.
�
Missing valve caps and wheel lugs.

rapair.

Abnormal or uneven wear.
�
Damaged or poor fitting rim or irm
flanges.

Projecting body hardware, loose fender
bolts, spring clips - anything that could
contact a tire.
