OPERATOR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps make tire and wheel
service safer. However, equipment does not take the place
of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work
clothing during tire service activity. Shop aprons or shop
coats may also be worn, however loose fitting clothing
should be avoided.Tight fitting leather gloves are
recommended to protect operator’s hands when handling
worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel
toes and oil resistant soles should be used by tire service
personnel to help prevent injury in typical shop activities.
Eye protection is essential during tire service activity. Safety
glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields are
acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting
activities and are also helpful in providing operator
protection. Consideration should also be given to the use of
hearing protection if tire and wheel service activity is
performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED
COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.
