WARNING

• Service tires safely.

• A tire can explode during inflation and cause

serious injury or death.

• Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and

extension hose.

• NEVER increase air pressure beyond pressure

specified on tire sidewall to seat the bead on the
rim.

• Replace the tire if it has a defect.

• Replace a wheel rim, which has cracks, wear or

severe rust.

• NEVER weld a wheel rim.

• NEVER use force on an inflated or partially inflated

tire.

• Make sure the tire is correctly seated before

inflating to operating pressure.

• If the tire is not in correct position on the rim, or is

too full of air, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great
force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire
in any direction, endangering anyone in the area.

• Make sure all the air is removed from a tire before

removing the tire from a rim.

• Do NOT remove, install or make repairs to a tire on

a rim unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Take the tire and
rim to a qualified tire repair shop.
