SAFE HANDLING OF OFF ROAD TIRES
When doing any tire service, especially tire inflation,
NEVER stand in the TRAJECTORY PATH. Serious injury or
death can result if an explosion should occur.
• Use a self-attaching air chuck with a hose long enough to
be out of the trajectory path when filling a tire with air.
• Use an inflation cage, safety cables, or chains when
inflating tires.
• Never use air from a compressed air system, to inflate a
tire if alcohol has been used as antifreeze.
Inspect all rims, wheels and components.
• Replace any worn or damaged rims, wheels and
components.
Do not remove any wheel nuts; rim clamps or dagger
clamps until the tire is deflated.
• No personnel should be touching the rim, rim clamp, or
tire when dislodging the rim clamps or dagger clamps.
• Never stand in front of rim clamps or dagger clamps
during removal.
• Trained and certified personnel should only do the
dismounting and mounting of tires. It is recommended
that a certified tire repair service be hired to perform the
dismounting and mounting of tires from rims.
DISCHARGE ACCUMULATORS
Before removing and disassembling brake or steering
