Check the Tires
Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires
with an accurate gauge. See the sidewall of the tire for the
proper infl ation.
WARNING: 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 infl ate the tires above the recommended
pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an 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
infl ating. Use appropriate tool that allows you to stand
to one side.
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure.
DO NOT exceed maximum.
