Failure to comply with vehicle maintenance manual instructions could result in injury or death. WARNING Wheel/rim components can separate at any time and with very explosive force. Always stay out of the trajectory of components. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. TRAJECTORY WARNING Operating a vehicle with an underinflated or defective tire may lead to premature tire failure and may cause equipment damage and serious injury or death. WARNING Prior to dislodging tire beads, lockrings, or side ring flanges, be absolutely certain no air pressure remains in the tire. Serious injury or death could result. WARNING Never inflate a wheel assembly with wheel locknuts removed in an attempt to separate the inner and outer rim halves. The assembly will separate under pressure resulting in serious injury or death. WARNING Never re-inflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously underinflated without removing and checking for tire, tube or rim damage. a Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com TM 9-2610-200-14 WARNING • Never exceed 3 psi (21 kPa) inflation prior to placing tire and wheel assembly into inflation safety cage or mounting on a tire change machine that has a positive lockdown device. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. • Always use an inflation cage to inflate tires mounted on multipiece rims, and tire/rim assemblies not mounted on a tire changing machine that has a positive lock down device designed to hold the assembly during inflation. When using a tire changing machine, always follow the manufacturer's mounting and safety instructions. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. Always inflate tires that are mounted on rims with demountable side ring flanges or lockrings in an inflation safety cage or serious injury or death could result. • When inflating tires in an inflation safety cage, always use an extension airhose (10 ft or 3.1 mm minimum), snap on chuck and a in-line pneumatic tire inflator-gage. Failure to do so could cause serious injury. In-line Inflator Gage Extension Airhose, Minimum 10 ft. Snap-on Chuck WARNING • Improperly seated side flanges or lockrings may fly off during inflation. Never attempt to seat a side ring flange or lockring during inflation or after inflation with a hammer or other tool. Serious injury or death could result. • Never inflate tires over 40 psi (276 kPa) to seat tire beads. If beads do not seat, deflate, demount, and check the tire/rim match. Mount and lubricate according to instructions. Serious injury or death could result if these procedures are not followed. b Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com TM 9-2610-200-14 WARNING For information on artificial respiration and first aid, refer to FM 21-11. WARNING Improper use of power equipment or use of faulty or damaged power equipment could cause serious injury or death. WARNING • When inflating tires mounted on the vehicle, all personnel must remain a minimum of 10 ft (3.1m) away from tire and not in possible path of lockring or rim flange. Should they fly off, serious injury or death could result. • Personnel must remain a minimum of 10 ft (3.1 m) away from the tire being inflated. Serious injury or death could result from possible projectiles. • Never put hands or fingers near rim flanges or bead seats when inflating tires. Serious injury could result. • Never lean, stand, or reach over a tire/rim assembly during inflation. Serious injury or death could result. In-line Inflator Gage Extension Airhose, Minimum 10 ft. Snap-on Chuck WARNING When using compressed air, always wear safety goggles to prevent dirt and debris from going into eyes. Compresses airstream must be less than 30 psi (207 kPa). c Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com TM 9-2610-200-14 WARNING • Never use wheel assemblies with studs that are damaged, loose, or have damaged threads. Damaged studs can cause improper assembly, which could cause individual fasteners to fail. Any of these situations could cause serious injury or death. • Never mount a tire on rim that is damaged or has been repaired by welding or brazing. • Never attempt to mount a tire of one diameter on a rim of a different diameter, or a tire designed for a specific width rim on a rim of different width. Caution must be exercised to ensure that the correct tire is mounted on the appropriate rim and that rims of similar design and appearance are not mistaken for each other. Always refer to the vehicle technical manual for specific information concerning correct tire and rim combinations. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. WARNING Never use tubes in runflat wheel assemblies. Use of a tube defeats the built-in safety features and could allow the wheel to come apart under pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. WARNING Use vulcanizing fluids and cleaning fluids in a well-ventilated area. Read all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS on containers. The prolonged inhalation of fumes could cause health hazards. d Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com TM 9-2610-200-14 INSERT LATEST CHANGED PAGES/WORK PACKAGES.

  • Tips to Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing
    Jul 30, 2013 17:58 IST Tips To Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing The comfort and safety of the vehicle depends on the maintenance of the tyres. Tires are quite an expensive investment so it is important to maintain and keep them well balanced to ensure a longer tread life. Well balanced tires also ensure smooth and better tracking operation. Most of the heavy vehicles manufactured in the earlier days were strong enough to dampen the vibrations caused during drives. However, the modern cars are equipped with light weight chassis which makes it quite susceptible to even the smallest intolerances such as vibrations. This explains the reason why alloy wheels need to be balanced accurately so that it offers better performance and longer durability. Alloy wheels are basically light in weight due to its unique construction designs. The magnificent wheels can be balanced perfectly for a safe and smooth drive. Important Steps to Follow: First park the car on a flat ground and loosen the lug nuts of the wheel rims using a tire iron. Make use of a floor jack to raise the vehicle off the ground without taking the wheels off completely. Suspend the car fully with the use of jack stands. Then remove the lug nuts and the all the four wheels. Clean the tires using soapy water and a brush. Residues of paint, cement and tar can be removed by using lacquer thinner. Set up a bubble balance machine for the process of balancing the alloy wheels. View the bubble through the window gauge. Adjust the knobs to ensure that the bubbles are in the middle of the cross hair.

  • Tireballs ATV Accessories & Part Installation Instructions
    Quick Guide to Motorcycle Tire Ball™ Installation 1) Rim Preparation. Remove the loose rim strip or duct tape covering the spoke nipples. Inspect and de-burr any sharp edges of spokes or nipples that may be present in the interior surface of the rim. Install an adhesive backed rim liner. If you use duct tape make sure it does not cover the tire bead seating area of the rim. 2) Install a loose valve stem in the rim hole. This will keep debris outside the rim and can help seat the bead by pressurizing the tire through the valve stem. 3) Lubricate the inside of the tire carcass and the surface of each Tire Ball. You may use either the aerosol or liquid silicone lubricant. We find that the pure liquid silicone oil (included in the installation kit) lasts longer and offers the best lubrication. 4) Install a quick clamp onto the tire side- wall so that it projects into the interior of the tire carcass to use as a backstop for the insertion of Tire BallsTM. 5) Insert fully inflated Tire Balls™ into the tire carcass pressing them against the quick clamp. Make sure that the inflation inserts are all facing the same direction. 6) Install as many Tire Balls™ into the tire carcass as will fit. Typically, the number required will be 35-38 Tire Balls™ in a front (in kit of 40) and 24-28 in a rear tire (in kit of 30) 7) If you intend to raise the pressure above the preset psig, then bring each ball up to the final pressure gradually, alternating between every other ball, much as you would torque a cylinder head, using the inflation regulator and pressure gauge.
