Checking Tire Pressure

MIF

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death: · Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. · Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel. · When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. · Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

1. Check tires for damage.
