Figure 5.315: Inflation Warning
WARNING
• Service tires safely.
• A tire can explode during inflation which could cause
serious injury or death.
• Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose.
• Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure indicated
on tire label or sidewall.
• Replace tires that have defects.
• Replace wheel rims that are cracked, worn, or
severely rusted.
• Never weld a wheel rim.
• Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire.
• Make sure the tire is correctly seated before inflating to operating pressure.
• If the tire is not correctly positioned on the rim or is overinflated, the tire bead can loosen on one side
causing air to escape at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in
any direction endangering anyone in the area.
• Make sure all the air is removed from the tire before removing the tire from the rim.
• Do NOT remove, install, or repair a tire on a rim unless you have the proper equipment and experience to
perform the job.
• Take the tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.
