Tire Inflation - MacDon 3020 Operator's Manual

WHEELS AND TIRES (continued)

Tire Inflation

Check tire pressure daily. Maintain pressures
recommended in Specifications section.
WARNING: Service tires safely. A tire
can explode during inflation and
cause serious injury or death. Never
increase air pressure beyond 35 psi (241 kPa)
to seat the bead on the rim. Replace the tire if it
has a defect. Replace a wheel rim which has
cracks, wear or severe rust. Never weld a
wheel rim. Make sure all the air is removed
from a tire before removing the tire from a rim.
Never use force on an inflated or partially
inflated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly
seated before inflating to operating pressure.
Do not remove, install or make repairs to a tire
on a rim unless you have the proper equipment
and experience to perform the job. Take the tire
and rim to a qualified tire repair shop. If the tire
is not in correct position on the rim, or is too
full of air, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great
force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the
tire in any direction, endangering anyone in the
area.
(A) - Use a safety cage if available.
(B) - Do not stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck
and extension hose.
