TIRE and RIM SERVICING SAFETY
INSPECTION:
Clean rims and repaint to stop detrimen-
tal effects of corrosion and facilitate
checking and tire mounting. Be very care-
ful to clean all dirt and rust from the lock
ring and gutter. This is important to
secure the lock ring in its proper position.
A filter on the air inflation equipment to
remove the moisture from the air line
helps prevent corrosion. The filter should
be checked periodically to see that it is
w o r k i n g p r o p e r l y.
Check rim components periodically for
cracks. Replace all cracked, badly worn,
damaged and severely rusted components
with new parts of same size and type.
W h e n i n d o u b t r e p l a c e .
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt
to rework, weld, heat, or braze any rim
components that are cracked, broken, or
damaged. Replace with new parts or parts
that are not cracked, broken, or damaged
and which are of the same size and type.
Make sure correct parts are being assem-
bled. Check DOT chart, your distributor
or the manufacturer if you have any
d o u b t s .
Don’t be careless or take chances. If you
are not sure about the proper mating of
rim and wheel parts, consult a rim and
wheel expert. This may be the tire man
who is servicing your fleet, the rim and
wheel distributor in your area, or the
