TIRE SAFETY
•
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce
an explosion which may result in serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to
•
do the job.
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel
•
should be called to service and/or mount tires.
•
Always order and install tires and wheels with appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the
anticipated weight to be placed on the equipment.
•
The rims and tires should be mounted on the feeder with the valve stem to the inside. We
use reverse disc rims as a protection that livestock do not step on the valve stems and
break them off. Be sure you have proper tire pressure and the lug nuts are properly
tightened. Check wheel bearings on a regular basis and grease semiannually.
LIGHTING AND MARKING
•
It is the responsibility of the customer to know the lighting and marking requirements of the
local highway authorities and to install and maintain the equipment to provide compliance
with the regulations. Add extra lights when transporting at night or during periods of
limited visibility.
Lighting kits are available from your dealer or from the manufacturer.
