Tire Inflation DANGER Label - 40 PSI Bead Seating Explosion Hazard Warning
Safety warning placard cautioning against exceeding tire bead-seating and inflation pressures, with a hazard illustration.
This document is a tire-safety warning label/graphic consisting of two DANGER statements flanking a central pictogram. The pictogram depicts a person standing over a tire mounted on inflation equipment, with red and orange arrows showing the tire and debris being violently ejected upward — illustrating a tire explosion during inflation. The left DANGER statement warns of an explosion hazard and instructs never to exceed 275 kilopascals (40 PSI) while seating tire beads. The right DANGER statement also warns of an explosion hazard and instructs never to inflate a tire beyond the manufacturer's recommended pressure after the bead is seated. A reader learns the two critical pressure limits involved in safe tire mounting: a hard cap of 40 PSI (275 kPa) during bead seating, and the tire/vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure limit once the bead has seated. The label contains no vehicle-specific information (no year, make, model, part numbers, or fuse/wiring data); it is a generic tire inflation safety warning applicable to tire mounting and inflation procedures in general, and would apply equally to servicing tires on the uploader's vehicle.
