SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STORING TIRES

Tires for construction equipment are extremely heavy, it may lead
to serious personal injury or death. To maintain safety, always do
as follows.
As a basic rule, store the tires in a warehouse which
unauthorized persons cannot enter.
If the tires must be stored outside, always erect a fence and put
up "No Entry" signs.
Stand the tire on level ground at angle (A) of 60° - 70° and fit
blocks (1) securely so that the tire cannot roll or fall over if any
person should touch it. Do not lay the tire on its side. This will
deform the tire.
If the tire should fall over, do not attempt to stop it. Get out of the
way quickly.
