WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and
property damage.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before
each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the
correct tire pressure.
• NOTE:
Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used
to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the
rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
• High-velocity fluid spray directed at pneumatic tire
sidewalls (such as found on automobiles, trailers and the
like) could damage the sidewall resulting in serious injury.
• On pressure washers rated above 1600PSI (11032kPa)
use the widest fan spray (40º nozzle) and keep the spray a
minimum of 8" (20 cm) from the pneumatic tire sidewall. Do
not aim spray directly at the joint between the tire and rim.
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Con tact with hot sur fac es, such as engine exhaust com po-

pres sure washer. Keep children away from the pres sure
washer at all times. They may not be able to recognize the
haz ards of this product.
