IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This machine stores and uses significant volumes of compressed air.
Disconnect compressed air at the source and drain all compressed air
before servicing. Severe injury or death can occur if service is
attempted on a compressed air chamber while it is charged.
WARNING: This machine uses high voltage electrical power. Shut down and
unplug the machine at the source before servicing. Severe injury or
death can occur if service is attempted on a live electrical circuit.
Read and follow all caution and warning labels affixed to equipment and tools.
Read and understand all instructions before operating this machine.
Misuse of this equipment can cause personal injury and shorten the life of the TC.

WARNING: Never mount a tire to a rim that is not the same diameter (e.g., 16
1/2 inch tire mounting on a 16 inch rim).
