Tire Safety; Adjusting The Hitch - MASSEY FERGUSON MF 9000 Service Manual

Tire Safety

FIG. 28: Tire explosion and serious injury can result from
over inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation pressures.
See the Operator's manual for the correct tire pressure.
Replace worn or damaged tires. When tire service is
needed, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
See the Operator's manual for the correct tire size.
Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed. Welding
will cause an explosive air/gas mixture that will ignite with
high temperatures. This can happen to tires that are
inflated or deflated. Removing the air or breaking the
bead is not enough.
