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 j from fitting,
resulting in dangerous loss of air pressure.
