Safety section before proceeding.
CAUTION: Avoid injury!
Explosive separation of tire and

• Do not attempt to mount a
tire without the proper
equipment and experience
to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires
above the recommended
pressure.

increase in air pressure
resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally
weaken or deform the
wheel.
• Do not stand in front or
over the tire assembly
when inflating. Use a clip-
on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow
you to stand to one side.
