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 
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 inflating. Use a clip-on 
chuck and extension hose long enough 
to allow you to stand to one side.
