MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

WHEELS AND TIRES (continued)

Tire Inflation

Check tire pressure daily. Maintain pressures

recommended in Specifications section.

WARNING: Service tires safely. A tire

can explode during inflation and

cause serious injury or death. Never

increase air pressure beyond 35 psi (241 kPa)

to seat the bead on the rim. Replace the tire if

it has a defect. Replace a wheel rim, which has

cracks, wear or severe rust. Never weld a

wheel rim. Make sure all the air is removed

from a tire before removing the tire from a rim.

Never use force on an inflated or partially

inflated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly

seated before inflating to operating pressure.

Do not remove, install or make repairs to a tire

on a rim unless you have the proper equipment

and experience to perform the job. Take the

tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop. If the

tire is not in correct position on the rim, or is

too full of air, the tire bead can loosen on one

side, causing air to leak at high speed and with

great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust

the tire in any direction, endangering anyone in

the area.

(A) - Use a safety cage if available.

(B) - Do not stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck

and extension hose.
