ALWAYS follow all applicable Local, State, and Federal
Codes, Rules, and Regulations; such as the Federal
OSHA Standard Number 1910.177.
NEVER seat beads or inflate a tire on the tire changer.
The H.I.T. 5000H2 is not designed as a safety device or
stand for bead seating or inflation.
ALWAYS use an approved inflation chamber or infla-
tion cage.
Tire failure under pressure can be haz-
ardous. Place the wheel inside an approved
inflation chamber or cage before inflating.
Use an approved remote inflation valve,
hose, and gauge. ALWAYS wear safety gog-
gles for eye protection. Do not stand beside
the wheel or cage during inflation. Keep
hands and other parts of the body out of the
cage during inflation. Observe the tire pres-
sure frequently. Do not exceed the manufac-
turer's recommended maximum inflation
pressure. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may cause the tire and rim to separate
with tremendous force, resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
