During these times: | Then: |
Split rim wheels are being inflated. | Make sure employees stay out of the trajectory. |
When all of the following occur: | The tire may be inflated while the rim wheel is on the vehicle. |
A tire on a vehicle has more than 80 percent of the recommended pressure; and | |
Remote control inflation equipment is used; and | |
