01/11/2022 Q: Will there be any personal injury when inflating the tire, and what should be noticed when inflating the tire?
A:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over the tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury.
