I-110 XL2
Safety-Tire Warning
WARNING
Check Tires and Wheels
The task of servicing tires and wheels can be extremely dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel only, using the correct tools and following specific
procedures. Do not attempt to mount, demount or inflate a tire if you do not have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Call a qualified repair service to
inspect the assembly and make necessary repairs. Failure to heed warnings could lead to
serious injury or death.
Visually inspect tires and wheels daily. Carefully inspect any rim and tire assembly that has
been run underinflated or flat before reinflating the tire to make sure there is no damage to either
the rim or tire.
• ALWAYS
wear personal protection equipment such as gloves, footwear, eye protection,
hearing protection and head gear when servicing tire and wheel components.
• DO NOT operate with damaged rims, tire cuts or bubbles, missing lug bolts or nuts or
damaged rims.
• ALWAYS maintain the correct tire pressure. NEVER exceed recommended tire inflation
pressure.
• INSPECT any rim and tire assembly that has been run flat or severely underinflated
before reinflating the tire. Damage to the rim and tire may have developed.
• NEVER reinflate a tire that has lost air pressure or has been run flat without determining
and correcting the problem.
• NEVER try to repair wheel, rim, or tire components parts. Parts that are cracked,worn,
pitted with corrosion, or damaged must be discarded, and replaced with good parts.
• ALWAYS use approved tire and rim combinations for the model scraper that you have
and verify that part numbers of components are correctly matched for the assembly.
• ALWAYS exhaust all air from the tire prior to demounting.
• ALWAYS place wheel and tire assemblies in restraining devices (safety cage) when
inflating tires. Use a clip-on chuck and long extension hose to allow you to stand to the
side of the tire and not in front of it.
• NEVER weld or cut on an inflated tire assembly. Welding heat can cause increased
pressure which could result in tire explosion.
• ALWAYS use proper lifting techniques, and mechanized lifting aids to move heavy
components and assemblies.
• NEVER leave a tire, wheel, or assembly unsecured in a vertical position.
• ALWAYS take care when moving tires and wheels that other people in the area are not
endangered.
