1. SELECTION OF PROPER COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS a. All tires must be mounted on the proper rim/wheel as indicated in the specification tables. For complete tire specifications, refer to application specific data books. b. Make certain that rim/wheel is proper for the tire dimension. c. Always install new valve cores and metal valve caps containing plastic or rubber seals. d. Always replace the rubber valve stem on a 16" through 19.5" wheel. e. Always use a safety device such as an inflation cage or other restraining device that will constrain all rim/wheel components during the sudden release of the contained air of a single piece wheel. Refer to current OSHA standards for compliance. Do not bolt safety cages to the floor nor add any other restraints or accessories. Cage should be placed 3 feet from anything, including the wall. Never stand over a tire or in front of a tire when inflating. Always use a clip-on valve chuck with an in-line valve fitted with a pressure gauge or use a presettable regulator. Additionally, ensure there is a sufficient length of hose between the clip-on chuck and the in-line valve (if one is used) to allow the service technician to stand outside the trajectory zone when inflating. Trajectory zone means any potential path or route that a rim wheel component may travel during an explosive separation or the sudden release of the pressurized air, or an area at which an airblast from a single piece rim wheel may be released. The trajectory may deviate from paths that are perpendicular to the assembled position of the rim wheel at the time of separation or explosion. See Rubber Manufacturers Association Tire Information Service Bulletin Volume 33, Number 3 (December 2007) for more information. Clip-on Chuck Note: Safety cages, portable and/or permanent, are also available for inflation of the MICHELIN X One tire assemblies. ® ® Do not bolt safety cages to the floor nor add any other restraints or accessories. Ensure there is a sufficient length of hose between the clip-on chuck and the in-line valve (if one is used) to allow the service technician to stand outside the trajectory zone when inflating. Cage should be placed 3 feet from anything, including the wall. NEVER WELD OR APPLY HEAT TO A RIM OR WHEEL ON WHICH A TIRE IS MOUNTED. Section Two: Mounting the Tire 21
