Safety
Operator Protective
Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire servicing safer. However, equipment does not take the place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect operator’s hands when handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury in typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential during tire service activity. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing operator protection. Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if tire service activity is performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.Eye and face protection recommendations:
“Protective eye and face equipment is required to be used where there is a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by the use of such equipment.” O.S.H.A. 1910.133(a) Protective goggles, safety glasses, or a face shield must be provided by the owner and worn by the operator of the equipment. Care should be taken to see that all eye and face safety precautions are followed by the operator. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
2.Do not disable hood safety interlock system, or in any way shortcut safety controls and operations.
3.Be sure that wheels are mounted properly, the hub nut engages the arbor for not less than four
(4)turns, and the hub nut is firmly tightened before spinning the wheel.
