OPERATION<br />

This is unsafe and could result in:<br />
• Fire<br />
• Internal tire damage<br />
• Rim damage<br />
• Potentially dangerous vapors.<br />
Any of these conditions can cause death or<br />
serious personal injury during mounting<br />
and inflation.<br />
REASON FOR PRECAUTION<br />
Excessive overload can cause damage to<br />
the tire and rim assembly.<br />
Excessive overload due to undersized rims<br />
can cause damage to the tire and rim assembly.<br />
This will exceed the carrying capacity of<br />
the single tire and rim. Operating a vehicle<br />
in this manner can result in damage to<br />
rim and tire.<br />
Loss of air pressure warns you of a potential<br />
rim failure due to fatigue cracks or other<br />
fractures. This indicator is lost when tubes<br />
are used with leaking rims. Continued use<br />
may cause the rim to burst with explosive<br />
force.<br />
Early detection of rim damage or wear may<br />
prevent an accident.
