Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s
recommendations.
An increase in tire pressure during operation is normal,
and should NOT be reduced.
Never rein ate a tire that has been run at or seriously
under-in ated without removing the tire from the wheel.
Have the tire and wheel closely inspected for damage
before remounting.
When adding air to a tire, do so from a distance. Always
use a long hose with a self-attaching chuck; stand away
from the tire sidewall and to one side as far as possible.
Do not in ate tires with ammable gases or from
systems using an alcohol injector.

appropriate rating speci ed by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Avoid death or serious injury. Always
use a safety cage or cable restraints when rein ating

Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) Safety Precautions
Do not remove the ROPS/FOPS except for service. Reinstall
them correctly before allowing the machine back into service.
Do not modify ROPS/FOPS in any manner.
Unauthorized modi cations such as welding, drilling,
cutting or adding attachments could weaken the
structure and reduce your protection. Replace ROPS/
FOPS if subjected to rollover or damage. Do NOT
attempt to repair them. See the manufacturer’s
manual(s) for complete instructions and inspection
requirements.
If your machine is equipped with a foldable ROPS, make
sure it is upright whenever the machine is in use.
