Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO NOT infl ate tires above the recommended pres-
sure or maximum pressure stated on the tire.
Inspect tires and wheels daily. DO NOT operate with low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Carefully inspect any tire and rim assembly that has been run fl at or severely under infl ated
before reinfl ating the tire. Damage to the rim and tire may have developed. Call your authorized
dealer or a qualifi ed repair service to inspect the rim and tire assembly and make necessary
repairs.
When infl ating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand
to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if possible.
NEVER cut or weld on an infl ated tire or rim assembly. Heat from welding could cause an in-
crease in pressure and may result in tire explosion.
Do not attempt to mount a tire if you do not have the proper equipment and experience to per-
form the job. Have it done by your authorized dealer or a qualifi ed repair service.
Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge having 6.9 kPa (0.07 bar) (1 psi) graduations.
1. Shut off air supply to hose.
2. Move gauge hand to correct pressure.
3. Lock air chuck on tire valve.
4. Turn on air supply. Stand to front or rear of tire when you add air to tire.
5. After tire is at correct pressure, shut off air supply. Release chuck. (See Tire Pressure chart
in Specifi cation section.)
