Service Tires Safely

TS211-UN-23AUG88
CAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death. Do not attempt to mount a tire
unless you have 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. Use a safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or
missing lug bolts and nuts.
