WARNING: RISk Of BURSTING
What can happen how to prevent it
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury and
property damage.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tires pressure before
each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for
the correct tire pressure.
note: Air tanks,
compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate
tires can fill small tires similar
to these very rapidly. Adjust
pressure regulator on air
supply to no more than the
rating of the tire pressure.
Add air in small increments
and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over
inflation.
• High-velocity fluid spray
directed at pneumatic tire
sidewalls (such as found
on automobiles, trailers and
the like) could damage the
sidewall resulting in serious
injury.
• On pressure washers rated
above 1600 PSI (11032 kPa)
use the widest fan spray
(40º nozzle) and keep the
spray a minimum of 8"
(20 cm) from the pneumatic
tire sidewall. Do not aim spray
directly at the joint between
the tire and rim.
