Proper maintenance can prolong the life of
unit. The following charts show the

ambient temperatures, dusty conditions, or
airborne debris).
See the maintenance instructions in the
Engine Manual for additional information.
WARNING: Safety interlock system failure
and improper operation of unit can result in
death or serious injury. Test this system each
time the unit is operated. If this system does
not function as described, do not operate until
repairs are made. See Safety Interlock
System on page 14.
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.
