Mounting and Inflation
• DO NOT inate a tire before all components are in
the proper position. Place tire in a safety cage and
inate to approximately 10 psi. Recheck components
for proper assembly. If improperly assembled, deate
and correct.
• Never hammer on a tire/rim assembly that is not fully
deated. If assembly is proper at 10 psi, continue to
inate to fully seat the tire beads, then completely
deate the tire to prevent localized overstretching
of the tube. Reinate to recommended operating
pressure.
• NEVER sit on or stand in front of a tire/rim assembly
during ination. Use a clip-on chuck and make sure
ination hose is long enough to stand to the side of the
tire while inating.
• DO NOT hammer components with steel hammers.
Use rubber, lead, plastic or brass-faced mallets to tap
components together.
Operation
DO NOT inate tires beyond the maximum
recommended ination pressure.
NEVER run a vehicle one single tire of a dual assembly
as the carrying capacity is dangerously exceeded and
can result in damage to the rim and tire
Mismatched rim parts are dangerous
and can cause severe injury.
