• Tires should be inspected regularlyby a qualified technician for signs
of damage, such as punctures,
impacts, under-inflation or
overloading.
• Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts
or partial bead unseating.
Some fitment causes for air loss are:
• Incomplete bead seating.
• Bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication
or improper adjustment.
• Leaking valve core or rubber valve components (these should be
replaced when problems are
detected and whenever tires are
replaced).
• Tire failure due to improper repairs.
• See Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) established
repair procedures at www.rma.org
for information on proper repair
procedures. Never perform a
temporary repair or use an inner
tube as a substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons
should repair tires.
• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting.
• Only specially trained persons should mount tires.
• Failure to mount tires on approved rims.
• Failure to deflate single or dual assemblies completely before
demounting.
