WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
(1) Damaged cotter pins (or re-using cotter pins)
(2) Riding on damaged wheel rims
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
(1) A damaged cotter pin can become dislodged allowing the hub nut and wheel to come off
suddenly causing you to lose control.
(2) Damaged rims will allow air pressure to escape resulting in improper tire pressure.
In either case above, you could be seriously injured or killed in the resulting accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1) Inspect the condition of the cotter pins regularly and replace if damage is detected.
Never re-use a cotter pin.
(2) Inspect the condition of the wheel rims before every ride if you observe bending, deep scratches,
gouging, or other damage, have the rims replaced with new ones.
