WARNING
Servicing and changing tires and rims can be
dangerous and should be done only by trained
personnel using proper tools and procedures.
If correct procedures are not followed while
servicing tires and rims, the assemblies could
burst with explosive force and cause serious
physical injury or death.
Follow carefully the
provided by your tire servicing man or dealer.
Check Inflation and Damage
Inspect tires for wear, cuts, gouges and foreign
objects. Look for bent rims and correct seating of
locking ring.
Check tires for proper inflation. See "Tire Inflation
Pressures".
To inflate tires always use a clip-on chuck with a
minimum 60 cm (24 inches) length of hose to an
in-line valve and gauge.
Always stand behind the tread of the tire. NOT in
front of the rim.
Do NOT re-inflate a tire that has been run while flat
or underinflated, without first checking to make sure
the locking ring on the rim is not damaged and is in
the correct position.
specific information
When tires are changed, be sure to clean all rim
parts and, if necessary, repaint to stop detrimental
effects of corrosion. Sand blasting is recommended
for removal of rust.
Check all components carefully and replace any
cracked, badly worn, damaged and severely rusted
or corroded parts with new parts of the same size
and type. If there is any doubt, replace with new
parts.
Do NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to
rework, weld, heat or braze any rim components.
