Truck Tires Warnings!
Important: Be sure to read this safety information. Make sure that everyone who services tires or vehicles in your outlet has read and understands these warnings. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT FROM FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY WARNINGS.
No Matter how well any tire is constructed, punctures, impact damage, improper inflation, improper maintenance or service factors may cause serious tire failure creating a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury to you and/or your customer.
Encourage your customers to examine their tires frequently for snags, bulges, excessive treadwear, separations or cuts. If such conditions appear, advise them to demount the tire, use the spare, and see you immediately. If you spot any of the above conditions, bring them to the customer's attention immediately. For safety, comply with the following warnings.
Tire and rim servicing can be dangerous and must be done only by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. Failure to read and comply with all procedures may result in serious injury or death to you or others.
Re-inflation of any type of tire/rim assembly that has been operated in a run-flat or underinflation condition (80% or less of recommended pressure), can result in serious injury or death. The tire may be damaged on the inside and can explode while you are adding air. The rim parts may be warn, damaged or dislodged and can explosively separate.
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. The use of any flammable material during tire servicing is absolutely prohibited.
Any inflated tire mounted on a rim contains explosive energy. The use of damaged, mismatched or improperly assembled tire/rim parts can cause the assembly to burst apart with explosive force. If you are struck by an exploding tire, rim part or the air blast, you can be seriously injured or killed.
Re-assembly and the inflation of mismatched parts can result in serious injury or death. Just because parts come in together does not mean that they belong together. Check for proper matching on all rim parts before putting any parts together.
Mismatching tire and rim diameters is dangerous. A mismatched tire and rim assembly may explode and can result in serious injury or death. This warning applies to 14", 14.5", 16" and 16.5" tires and rims as well as other similarly mismatched size combinations. Never assemble a tire and rim unless you have positively identified and correctly matched the parts.
If the tire is 20% below the recommended operating pressure it must be considered flat. The tire must be removed, dismounted and inspected for punctures or other damage.
