Woods BATWING BW15.50E Manuel De L'opérateur page 16

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recom-
mended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can
cause an increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an extension hose long enough to
allow you to stand to the side — not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims, or missing lug
bolts and nuts.
Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the tire inflated.
