Explosions of air-inflated tires have resulted from heat-induced gas combustion inside the tires. The heat, generated by welding or heating rim components, external fire, or excessive use of brakes can cause gaseous combustion. A tire explosion is much more violent than a blowout. The explosion can propel tire, rim, and axle components as far as 500 m (1500 ft) or more from the machine. Bother the force of the explosion and the flying debris can cause personal injury or death, and property damage.
Illustration 11(A) At least 15 m (50 ft).(B) At least 500 m (1500 ft).Do not approach a warm tire closer than the outside of the area represented by the shaded area in the illustration.Stand behind the tread and use a self-attaching chuck when inflating a tire.Servicing and changing tires and rims can be dangerous and should be done only by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. If correct procedures are not followed while servicing tires and rims, the assemblies could burst with explosive force and cause serious personal injury or death. Follow carefully the specific information provided by your tire or rim servicing personnel or dealer.Mounting and Dismounting
