tIre InFlAtIon
Because.tires.have.the.potential.to.release.a.large.amount.of.energy.if.they.explode,.
and.they.can.cause.injury.during.a.faulty.inlation.procedure,.care.must.be.taken.to.
follow.safety.procedures..Tires.are.mounted.and/or.inlated.on.drop.center.wheels..
Therefore,.each.repair.shop.must.have.a.safe.practice.procedure.posted.and.enforced..
When. tires. are. mounted. and/or. inlated. on. wheels. with. split. rims. and/or. retainer.
rings,.a.safe.practice.procedure.must.also.be.posted.and.enforced..Each.tire.inlation.
hose.should.have.a.clip-on.chuck.with.at.least.24.inches.of.hose.between.the.chuck.
and.an.in-line.hand.valve.and.gauge..The.tire.inlation.control.valve.must.automati-
cally.shut.off.so.that.airlow.stops.when.the.valve.is.released..Employees.should.be.
strictly.forbidden.from.taking.a.position.directly.over.or.in.front.of.a.tire.that.is.being.
inlated.. A. tire. restraining. device,. such. as. a. cage,. rack,. or. other. effective. means,.
must.be.used.while.inlating.tires.mounted.on.split.rims,.or.rims.using.retainer.rings.
