5) Never turn front steering axle tires
when the vehicle is standing. This creates
very high stress and sheer forces
within the tires.
6) Keep off windrows. These are often present
when haulroads are being graded.
7) Do not drive on the berm of the road.
Obstructions are often present.
8) Do not drive over spillage. Spillage can
damage tires. Report it so that it can be
cleaned up (Fig. 8).
