Safety
Operator Protective
Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire serv-
icing safer. However, equipment does not take the
place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable
work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting
clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves
are recommended to protect operator’s hands when
handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work
shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be
used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury in
typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential dur-
ing tire service activity. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back
belts provide support during lifting activities and are
also helpful in providing operator protection.
Consideration should also be given to the use of hear-
ing protection if tire service activity is performed in an
enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
Failure to follow danger, warning, and cau-
tion instructions may lead to serious per-
sonal injury or death to operator or
bystander or damage to property. Do not
operate this machine until you read and
understand all the dangers, warnings and
cautions in this manual. For additional
