WARNING O-ring sealing surfaces and pressure relief grooves must be kept clean and free of rust and dirt. Failure to do so may cause the wheel assembly to separate under pressure, causing serious injury or death. 6. Using wire brush, clean studs (4). Clean all dirt and foreign material from rim halves (1) and (2) with soap and water and allow to air-dry. Ensure O-ring sealing surfaces (5) and pressure relief grooves (3) on rim halves (1) and (2) are smooth and clean. 7.

Any of these situations may cause serious injury or death. 8.
