WARNING
Be sure tire is completely deflated and valve core is removed before dismounting tire.
Failure to do so could cause serious
injury due to parts flying off wheel and tire.
Don’t use oil to lubricate tire when mounting.
Oil will cause rubber to
deteriorate over a period of time with possible personal injury resulting.
Place tire and wheel assembly in a safety cage
before inflating tire.
Don’t overinflate tire.
If not properly assembled, inflation may cause the wheel and rim to separate
with explosive force causing serious injury or death.
If you are injured, seek medical help immediately.
WARNING
Use caution when you remove components under pressure from compression spring.
Failure to do so could cause
serious injury by parts flying up and hitting your eye.
If you are injured, obtain medical aid immediately.
WARNING
Brake linings contain asbestos fibers.
Do not generate dust when working on brake system.
Don’t remove dust or dirt with
compressed air.
Serious bodily harm may result from breathing asbestos dust.
WARNING
Compressed air must not exceed 30 psi.
Wear safety glasses when using compressed air.
Failure to do so could cause
serious injury to eyes and possible blindness.
If you hurt your eyes or if a foreign object is blown into your eyes, obtain
medical attention immediately.
WARNING
Relieve all pressure from tractor air system before disconnecting air system lines and fittings.
Wear safety glasses and
stand clear of loosened air line fitting.
High pressure air can propel debris at high speed, causing eye injury or blindness.
If you are injured, obtain medical aid immediately.
WARNING
When installing air tubing on insert-type fitting, tubing must be installed over insert for secure connection.
Installation of
fitting without insert will allow air pressure to force tubing from fitting, resulting in dangerous loss of air pressure.
