WARNING
•
Never exceed 3 psi (21 kPa) inflation prior to placing tire and wheel assembly into inflation safety
cage or mounting on a tire change machine that has a positive lockdown device.
Failure to do so may
cause serious injury or death.
•
Always use an inflation cage to inflate tires mounted on multipiece rims, and tire/rim assemblies not
mounted on a tire changing machine that has a positive lock down device designed to hold the
assembly during inflation.
When using a tire changing machine, always follow the manufacturer's
mounting and safety instructions.
Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
Always inflate
tires that are mounted on rims with demountable side ring flanges or lockrings in an inflation safety
cage or serious injury or death could result.
•
When inflating tires in an inflation safety cage, always use an extension airhose (10 ft or 3.1 mm
minimum), snap on chuck and a in-line pneumatic tire inflator-gage.
Failure to do so could cause
serious injury.
WARNING
•
Improperly seated side flanges or lockrings may fly off during inflation.
Never attempt to seat a side
ring flange or lockring during inflation or after inflation with a hammer or other tool.
Serious injury
or death could result.
•
Never inflate tires over 40 psi (276 kPa) to seat tire beads.
If beads do not seat, deflate, demount, and
check the tire/rim match.
Mount and lubricate according to instructions.
