CAUTION:
Avoid injury!
Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they
are serviced incorrectly:
•
Do not attempt to mount a
tire without the proper
equipment and experience
to perform the job.
•
Do not inflate the tires
above the recommended
pressure.
•
Do not weld or heat a
wheel and tire assembly.
Heat can cause an
increase in air pressure
resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally
weaken or deform the
wheel.
•
Do not stand in front or
over the tire assembly
when inflating. Use a clip-
on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow
you to stand to one side.
