• NEVER rework, weld, heat, or braze the tire/wheel/rim. Heating the rim of tire/wheel/rim assembly can cause a tire to explode, causing serious injury or death.
• The use of any flammable material during tire servicing is absolutely prohibited. Use of starting fluid, ether, gasoline or any other flammable material to lubricate, seal or seat the beads of a tubeless tire can cause the tire to explode or can cause the explosive separation of the tire/rim assembly resulting in serious injury or death.

• NEVER hammer, strike or pry on any type of tire/rim assembly while the tire contains inflation pressure. Do not attempt to seat any part while the tire contains any inflation pressure. This could result in serious injury or death.

Stay out of the Trajectory as indicated by shaded area.

Note: Under some circumstances, the trajectory may deviate from its expected path. Always use a safety cage or other restraining device in compliance with OSHA regulations.

1. NEVER reinflate a tire that has been operated in a run-flat or underinflated condition (80% or less of recommended pressure). Demount and inspect all tires and rim parts before reinflating.
2. ALWAYS use specialized tools as recommended by tire suppliers for mounting and demounting of tires.
3. BEFORE loosening any nuts or clamps that attach a multi-piece rim assembly to a vehicle, always completely deflate the tire (both tires of a dual assembly) by taking out the valve core(s). Never attempt to demount a tire from a rim unless you are sure that the tire is completely deflated. Failure to follow this practice can cause the assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury or death.
   
4. NEVER use any rim part that is bent, pitted from corrosion, cracked or worn. These are unserviceable parts and must be destroyed so that they cannot be used. Remove rust, dirt or foreign material from rim parts.
5. NEVER use a rim part unless you can positively identify it from the manufacturer’s stamped markings. If you cannot identify a part, it must be destroyed.

6. ALWAYS inspect inside of tire for loose cords, cuts, penetrating objects or other casing damage. Repairable damage must be repaired, before placing tire back into service. Tires with unrepairable damage should be destroyed.
7. NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
8. ALWAYS replace a tire with one having the same rim diameter designation and suffix letters.
9. ALWAYS inspect inside of the tire and remove dirt, liquids, or other foreign material before mounting.
10. NEVER install tubes that have buckled or creased.
11. ALWAYS use new tubes in new tires.
12. ALWAYS use radial tubes with tube-type radial tires.
13. NEVER use a tube in a casing larger or smaller than that for which the tube was designed by the manufacturer.
14. ALWAYS check to be sure tube is clean before installing in tire.
15. ALWAYS lubricate with only approved tire mounting lubricant or mild vegetable oil soap solution. Never use anti-freeze, silicones or petroleum-base lubricants. This will damage the tire.
16. ALWAYS inspect valve cores for proper air retention. Replace damaged or leaky cores.
17. ALWAYS inflate tire to tire manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure for the tire’s intended service.
    
18. When inflating a tire off a vehicle, use a safety cage or other restraining device, and an extension hose with in-line air gauge and clip-on air chuck, which allows the operator to stand clear of the trajectory.
19. For tube-type tires, inflate to service pressure without the valve core installed and then completely deflate the tire to prevent wrinkles in the tube. Insert the valve core and reinflate the tire to recommended service pressure as specified for the tire and/or rim.
20. ALWAYS use sealing valve caps to prevent loss of air or fluid.
21. ALWAYS check to be sure tire is centered on rim before inflating.
