Case 845B VHP - Wheel, Tire, and ROPS Safety

CHAPTER 2 – SAFETY / DECALS / HAND SIGNALS
2-9
Use an air hose equipped with a remote shutting valve •
and an extension with the pressure gauge and keep
distance from the tire being inated in order to avoid
possible injuries due to the separation between the
tire and rim, etc.
Explosive separation of the tire and/or rim parts can •
cause injury or death. When tire service is necessary,
have a qualied tire mechanic service the tire.
DO NOT weld to wheel or rim when a tire is installed. •
Welding may cause an explosive air / gas mixture that
will be ignited with high temperatures. This can ha-
ppen to tires inated or deated. Removing air or bre-
aking bead is not adequate. Tire MUST be completely
removed from the rim prior to welding.
A tire may blast during the inating operation and cau- •
se serious injuries or death. Never inate a tire with air
pressure higher than 35 psi (2,4 bar) in order to force
the tire bead seating on the rim. Replace a defective
tire. Replace a wheel which rim shows cracks, wear or
serious corrosion. Before removing a tire from a rim,
make sure that all the air has been removed from it.
Never try to force the removal of a tire which is totally
or partially inated. Make sure the tire is properly sea-
ted on the rim before inating it.
WHEEL AND TIRE MAINTENANCE
ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
Do not modify ROPS in any manner. Unauthorized modications such as welding, drilling, cutting, or adding attach- •
ments can weaken the structure and reduce your protection. Replace ROPS if it is subjected to roll-over or damage.
Do not attempt to repair.
