Tire Safety
FIG. 36: Check tires for cuts, bulges, and correct
pressure. Replace worn or damaged tires. When tire
service is needed, have a qualified tire mechanic service
the tire. Tire changing can be very hazardous and must
be done by qualified tire mechanic using proper tools and
equipment. See the Specifications Section for the correct
tire size.
Tire explosion and/or serious injury can result from over
inflation. Do not exceed the tire inflation pressures. See
the Specifications Section for the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate a tire that is seriously under inflated or has
been run flat. Have the tire checked by qualified tire
mechanic.
Do not weld on the rim when a tire is installed. Welding
will make an air/gas mixture that can cause an explosion
and burn with high temperatures. This danger applies to
all tires, inflated or deflated. Removing air or breaking the
bead is not enough. The tire must be completely removed
from the rim prior to welding.
Accumulator Safety
m
DANGER: Charging
accumulator must be performed by an
authorized dealer only.
FIG. 37: The accumulator (1) is charged with dry
nitrogen gas. Use only dry nitrogen when charging the
accumulator. Do not use air or oxygen or an explosion will
occur.
Nitrogen gas when released can cause localized freezing.
Always wear protective gloves and glasses when
handling nitrogen.
Do not drop the accumulator. A charged accumulator
contains nitrogen under pressure. If the shut off valve
breaks away from the accumulator, the escaping nitrogen
will propel the accumulator at a high rate of speed.
