Safety Instructions

Please read carefully before using tire cages

This cage is designed to restrain multi-piece wheel, rim and tire components
during inflation as required by Federal O.S.H.A. Standard No. 29 CFR

1910.177.
Before using this cage, check the following: Cage must be freestanding

and a recommended three feet from any other objects or obstructions. Do not
modify the cage in any way. Discard cage if it is bent, cracked, or shows other
signs of damage. Use a clip-on chuck, remote inflation and deflation valve,
and sufficient length of hose to stand clear of the tire during inflation. Do not
use this cage on assemblies rated more than 130 P.S.I. (Cage No. 36011 –
T111 Earthmover Inflation Cage is rated at 100 P.S.I. max). See your
supervisor for proper safety procedures.

Prior to inflating the tire: Clean inflation area of all debris. Clean tire and
wheel of loose debris. Roll the tire assembly into the cage. Follow the
O.S.H.A. Standard and the Wheel and Rim Manufacturers recommended
procedures. Center the tire in the cage in an upright position. Rotate tire so
that inflation valve is between inflation cage tubes.

DO NOT REACH INTO CAGE
DURING INFLATION

Warning:Wheel and rim assembly components may separate or fail any time
during inflation and/or mounting process. Flying rim components can cause
serious injury or death to operator or bystander.

Warning:Tire failure may cause sudden air release of significant force to
cause serious injury or death to operator or bystander. Debris propelled by air
may also cause serious injury or death.

Warning:Tire changing can be dangerous, and should be done only by
trained personnel using proper tools and equipment as directed by Federal
OSHA Standard No. 29 CFR Part 1910.177. Tires and wheels may violently
separate during inflation causing injury to operator or bystander. Do not stand
in trajectory zone. Keep all parts of body outside cage. While inflating tires,
wear safety goggles. Use clip-on chuck, remote valve, and sufficient length of
hose to stand clear of cage and tire during inflation. Keep all bystanders away
from inflation area during tire inflation. Always use a cage when inflating tires.
See supervisor for proper safety procedures.

Warning:Other hazards associated with tire changing include sidewall
rupture ("zippers"), bead failures, and sudden release of air and debris, which
may also cause injury to operator or bystander. This cage cannot restrain air
releases and the associated debris.
