Tire maintenance tips: Deflate, support the vehicle, and avoid open flames

Truck Tire Repair Safety Tips:

① Double-safety before parking.

Before repairs, always apply the parking brake and place triangular blocks in front and behind diagonally opposite wheels. Truck tires are like pressure cookers; deflate and reduce pressure before removing any screws!

② Use the jack correctly.

When supporting a vehicle, the jack must be placed in the designated location on the frame, never on the fuel tank or exhaust pipe. Experienced drivers say, "If you use the jack in the wrong spot, the vehicle will fall; if you use it in the right spot, it will be as stable as a rock!"

③ Loosen screws diagonally.

Remove screws in a diagonal pattern, working in turns like unscrewing a bottle cap. Never kick a wrench with your foot! The motto is: "Tighten the screws diagonally; brute force can be fatal."

Key life-saving details:

No open flames or explosions: Smoking is strictly prohibited around tires while they are being inflated, as rubber can ignite when exposed to sparks.

Soft contact with the hammer: Use a wooden block when striking the wheel to avoid sparks.

Cover the tire before testing the pressure: Place a spare tire or a mat on the tread during inflation to prevent the beadlock from breaking and injuring anyone.
