Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
An increase in tire pressure during operation is normal,
and should NOT be reduced.
Never reinfl ate a tire that has been run fl at or seriously
under-infl ated without removing the tire from the wheel.
Have the tire and wheel closely inspected for damage
before remounting.
When adding air to a tire, do so from a distance. Always
use a long hose with a self-attaching chuck; stand away
from the tire sidewall and to one side as far as possible.
Do not infl ate tires with fl ammable gases or from
systems using an alcohol injector.
Never cut or weld on a wheel with an infl ated
tire mounted on it. This could cause explosive
decompression.
Check that the tire size and wheel are correctly matched.
When replacing the tires, ensure the tires are of the
appropriate rating specifi ed by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Avoid death or serious injury. Always
use a safety cage or cable restraints when reinfl ating
a repaired tire.
Tires should not be operated at speeds higher than their
rated speed.

Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) Safety Precautions
Do not remove the ROPS/FOPS except for service. Reinstall
them correctly before allowing the machine back into service.
Do not modify ROPS/FOPS in any manner.
Unauthorized modifi cations such as welding, drilling,
cutting or adding attachments could weaken the
structure and reduce your protection. Replace ROPS/
FOPS if subjected to rollover or damage. Do NOT
attempt to repair them. See the manufacturer’s
manual(s) for complete instructions and inspection
requirements.
If your machine is equipped with a foldable ROPS, make
sure it is upright whenever the machine is in use.
