a. Dismounting Tire from Wheel
b. Wheel Inspection and Replacement
Replace any tire that is worn or cut through the cords.
When replacing a tire, follow the recommendations of the
tire manufacturer.
WARNING:
Risk of death or serious
personal injury. Using incorrect tire mounting
methods, or using damaged or dirty
components could result in an explosive
separation. When dismounting a tire from a
wheel, follow the instructions in the “Wheel
Dismounting Instruction” box that follows.
Wheel Dismounting Instructions:
• Use safety chains, or place the wheel and tire
assembly in a safety cage when deflating a tire
or when inflating a newly mounted tire.
• Deflate tire completely before servicing. NEVER
attempt to unseat the beads of an inflated tire.
• NEVER re-inflate a tire that has been run flat or
seriously under-inflated, without removing the
tire from the wheel and checking for tire and
wheel (rim) damage.
• NEVER hit a tire or wheel rim with a hammer or
ANY object.
• Use the appropriate specialty tools and
equipment for mounting a tire to a wheel or for
dismounting a tire from a wheel, or have a
qualified professional perform the work. DO
NOT attempt to mount or dismount a tire without
the proper tools, training and equipment.
• NEVER rework, heat, weld or braze a wheel rim
with the tire mounted.
WARNING:
Damaged, modified,
repaired or mis-matched wheels and tires, or
dirt and rust prevent the tire from seating
properly on the wheel, which could result in an
explosive separation. Such explosions could
result in death or severe personal injury.
• NEVER rework, heat, weld or braze a
wheel rim.
• Clean and inspect the wheel rim before
installing a new tire. Verify that the
wheel rim diameter exactly matches
the tire rim diameter molded into the
tire.
• Inspect the inside of the tire for dirt,
foreign material, loose cords, cuts,
penetrating objects and other damage.
DO NOT use tires with irreparable
damage.
