Wheels and Tires
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure on a forklift truck is several
times higher than the pressure on an automobile.
Also, multi-piece rim sets can present the hazard of
explosive disassembly if not handled properly.
When working with wheels or tires, always observe
the following safety rules. Failure to observe these
rules could result in severe injury or death.
●
When inflating or deflating tires, a suitable
safety cage or barrier shall be used.
●
Always check for rim damage before in-
flating tires. Do not add air to tires with
cracked or damaged rims. Adding air to
tires with damaged rims can cause the
rim to break with explosive force. If a dam-
aged rim is discovered, have the wheel re-
moved and repaired by trained and quali-
fied personnel before using the truck.
●
When checking tire pressure, place your
body in front of the tread face of the tire.
Do not check from the side face of the tire.
●
Always inflate tires to the correct pressure.
Incorrect tire pressure can cause prema-
ture wear or explosive separation of multi-
piece rim sets.
●
Always wear safety glasses when inflating
tires to avoid possible eye injury from dust
or dirt.
●
Only properly trained personnel should re-
place pneumatic tires on multi-piece rim
sets.
●
Always use correct procedures when serv-
icing or replacing pneumatic tires on mul-
ti-piece rim sets. Failure to use proper pro-
cedures can result in explosive separation
of the tire and rim set and cause severe
injury or death.
●
OSHA safety procedures must always be
followed. Refer to OSHA 1910.177.
●
Do not mix different sizes or tire types, this
could affect stability.
●
If the procedures listed above are not fol-
lowed the result could be death or serious
injury.
