14. Tires and wheels
SR tires are foam filled. Punctures of the type
caused by bolts, screws, or nails are not a
problem. Look for large holes or long cuts
completely through the tire body: holes or cuts
where foam is being forced or eroded out of the
tire. Also look for large imbedded objects, such
as angle iron, that can rip a tire body open under
some conditions.
(OPTION-BIG PAW Tires)
D A N G ER
Death or serious injury can result if an SR
tips over. An air-filled tire that has an air leak
or blow-out is a tip over hazard. Do not raise
the SR platform if any tire has an air leak or is
in such condition that a blow-out could
occur.
Some Big Paw tires are air-filled. Air-filled tires
should be visually checked several times a day
to see that they are properly inflated. Air-filled
tires should be checked very carefully for
imbedded material, cuts, punctures, or abraded
areas. Do not tolerate a suspect tire, it can be
fatal.
15. Bolts and fasteners
Visually inspect all fasteners to see that none are
missing or obviously loose.
Pay particular attention to all of the wheel nuts.
None should be visibly loose, missing, or
deformed.
