INTRODUCTION
Tires
Before inflating the tires, always check the condition of
rims and the outer condition of tires for the presence of
dents, cuts, tears of reinforcement plies or other faults.
Before inflating a tire, make sure that there are no nearby
persons, then position yourself at tread side.
When inflating tires, ensure tire pressure does not exceed
that prescribed by the tire manufacturer. Ensure that the
pressure of the right tire corresponds to the pressure of
the left tire.
NOTE:
The front and rear tire pressures may be different.
Never use reconditioned rims because possible welds,
heat treatments or brazings not performed correctly can
weaken the wheels and cause damage or failure. Deflate
the tires before their disassembly.
Before taking out possible jammed objects from the rims,
it is necessary to deflate the tires. Inflate tires by means
of an inflation pistol complete with extension and pressure
control valve.
Use an inflation cage.

Cleaning
Clean the exterior of all components before carrying out
any form of repair. Dirt and dust can reduce the efficient
working life of a component and lead to costly replace-
ment.
Solvents should be checked that they are suitable for the
cleaning of components and also that they do not risk the
personal safety of the user.
Dirt, oil, grease and scattered tools are dangerous for peo-
ple, because they can create slipping or tripping hazards.
For machine cleaning, use a jet of warm water or steam
under pressure and commercial detergents. Never use
fuel, petroleum or solvents, because they can leave an
oily residue that attracts dust, and solvents (even if weak)
damage the paint and can lead to the formation of rust.
Never use water jets or steam on sensors, connectors or
other electric components.
Avoid direct spray of seals and seams to prevent water
penetration inside the cab.
