also result if problems are not discovered and
repaired in a timely fashion.

inflated tire can explode and could
cause death or serious injury.

temporary flat tire repair products.
The tires on some machines are
foam-filled and do not need air
added to them.

cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
2 Check each wheel for damage, bends and
cracks.

to operate normally when they are actually not fully
operational.

it is in the engaged position.
