SUPPORT MAINTENANCE PROPERLY
•
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can
cause serious injury or death.
•
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have
the proper equipment and experience to perform
the job. Have it done by your authorized dealer or
a qualified repair service.
•
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO
NOT inflate tire above the recommended pres-
sure.
•
When inflating tires, use a chip-on chuck and ex-
tension hose long enough to allow you to stand to
one side and not in front of or over the tire as-
sembly. Use a safety cage it available.
•
Inspect tires and wheels daily. Do not operate with
low pressure, cuts bubbles, damaged rims, or
missing lug bolts and nuts.
•
Never cut or weld on an inflated tire or rim as-
sembly. Heat from welding could cause an in-
crease in pressure and may result in tire explo-
sion.
PREVENT PARTS FROM FLYING
•
Travel reduction gears are under pressure.
•
As pieces may fly off, be sure to keep body and
face away from AIR RELEASE PLUG to avoid
injury.
•
GEAR OIL is hot. Wait for GEAR OIL to cool, then
gradually loosen AIR RELEASE PLUG to release
pressure.
