If you must inflate or service tires, follow these safety
precautions to avoid injury or fatality:
• Make sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
• Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges with soap
solution. Do not use oil or grease.
• Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and
gauge. This allows the operator to stand clear of the
tire while inflating.
• NEVER INFLATE TO OVER 241 kPa (35 psi) TO
SEAT BEADS. If beads have not been seated by the
time pressure reaches 241 kPa (35 psi), deflate the
assembly, reposition the tire on the rim, relubricate
both tire bead and rim flanges, and reinflate. Inflation
beyond 241 kPa (35 psi) with unseated beads may
break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient
enough to cause serious injury.
• After seating the beads, adjust inflation pressure to
recommended operating pressure.
• Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is mounted on the
tractor or is secured so that it will not move if the tire
or rim should suddenly fail.
• Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair, or use a dam-
aged rim.
• Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or high-
way
• Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to support
the tractor while repairing tires.
• Ensure jack has adequate capacity to lift your tractor.
• Place jack on a firm, level surface.
• Do not place any part of your body beneath the trac-
tor or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack.
• Before adding ballast to the tires, see the following:
• 6-2
• 6-4
• 9-2
