WARNING
•
Never use wheel assemblies with studs that are damaged, loose, or have damaged threads. Damaged
studs can cause improper assembly, which could cause individual fasteners to fail. Any of these
situations could cause serious injury or death.
•
Never mount a tire on rim that is damaged or has been repaired by welding or brazing.
•
Never attempt to mount a tire of one diameter on a rim of a different diameter, or a tire designed for a
specific width rim on a rim of different width. Caution must be exercised to ensure that the correct tire
is mounted on the appropriate rim and that rims of similar design and appearance are not mistaken for
each other. Always refer to the vehicle technical manual for specific information concerning correct
tire and rim combinations. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never use tubes in runflat wheel assemblies. Use of a tube defeats the built-in safety features and could
allow the wheel to come apart under pressure, resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Use vulcanizing fluids and cleaning fluids in a well-ventilated area. Read all WARNINGS and
CAUTIONS on containers. The prolonged inhalation of fumes could cause health hazards.
