The following are some tips to avoid accidents:

1. Verification of instruments to avoid excessive pressure during inflation:
   • Adjust the compressor to the recommended pressure;
   • Ensure that the manometer is in good working order;
   • Check the airtightness of the valve;
   • Correctly install the tire on a compatible rim;
   • Inspect the tire for any defect in the weave of the tire cord, as well as any cracks, bulges, or broken reinforcing belt/reinforcement wire. In case of doubt, get rid of the tire;
   • Inspect the safety cage for any defect or weakness in the welds;
   • Both the tire and the rim must be at the same temperature as the surroundings.
2. Safe inflation
   • Place the wheel in a cage that is in good condition and strictly reserved for this type of work;
   • The cage must not be attached to the ground (unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer);
   • Use a clip-on air chuck with an air hose extension supplied with a control valve and a manometer;
   • A remote control is suggested;
   • The worker should be alone and attentive to unusual noises and concentrated on the behavior of the tire within the cage;
   • The worker must wear safety glasses, gloves and safety boots;
   • The ground nearby should be clear of any obstacles;
   • The cage should have 92 cm (36”) clearance around it, and when it is used, the operator must stay at least 3 meters (10’) from the cage (in the working area).
