WARNING: Multi-piece rim wheels may separate and cause personal injury. Wheel separation may occur
if machine is operated with low tire inflation pressure. If inflation pressure drops below 62 kPa (9 PSI),
contact qualified tire personnel to pressurize or repair the tire and wheel assembly.
WARNING: DO NOT weld to wheel or rim until the tire is completely removed. Inflated tires can generate
a gas mixture with the air that can be ignited by high temperatures from welding procedures performed on
the wheel or rim. This condition can exist whether tires are inflated or deflated. Removing the air or loosening
the tire on the rim (breaking the bead) will NOT eliminate the hazard. The tire MUST be completely removed
from the wheel or rim prior to welding the wheel or rim.
SC134
WARNING: Do not remove, install or make repairs to a tire on a rim. If required, the tire and wheel rim should
be removed from the machine by a qualified field technician with the proper equipment. If required, the field
technician should take the tire and wheel rim to a tire shop where persons with special training and special
safety tools are available. If the tire is not in correct position on the rim, or if too full of air, the tire bead can
loosen on one side and cause air to leak at high speed and with large force. Because the air leak can thrust
the tire in any direction, and with much force, you will be in danger of injury.
