Checking Tire Pressure

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation
of tire and rim parts is possible when they are
serviced incorrectly:
Do not attempt to mount a tire without
the proper equipment and experience to
perform the job.
Do not inflate the tires above the recom-
mended pressure.
Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire as-
sembly. Heat can cause an increase in
air pressure resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or de-
form 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.
