9/27/01 AC 43.13-1B CHG 1 9-15. INFLATION OF TIRES. There is serious danger involved with inflating and tire assembly. The tire should not be inflated be- yond the recommended pressure (when it is not being installed in a safety cage). Over- inflation can cause damage to the aircraft, as well as personal injury. Under-inflation will cause excessive tire wear and imbalance. The airframe manufacturer’s load and pressure chart should be consulted before inflating tires. Sufficiently inflate the tires to seat the tire beads; then deflate them to allow the tube to assume its position. Inflate to the recom- mended pressure with the tire in a horizontal position. Tire check of storage aircraft should be done in accordance with the applicable aircraft storage manual. 9-16. PERSONAL SAFETY. When serv- icing aircraft tires, personnel should stand ei- ther in the front or rear of the wheel and avoid approaching from either side of the tire. See illustration below: FIGURE 9-7. Examples of tread wear indicating over- inflation and under-inflation. NOTE: The use of nitrogen to inflate tires is recommended. Do not use oxygen to inflate tires. Deflate tires prior to removing them from the air- craft or when built-up tire assemblies are being shipped. 9-17. DISASSEMBLE THE WHEEL in accordance with aircraft manufacturer’s in- structions. Do not attempt to disassemble wheel until the tire has been completely deflated: otherwise serious injury or damage to equipment can re- sult. Do not attempt to remove valve core until tire has been completely deflated. Valve cores will eject at high velocity if unscrewed before air pressure has been released. Never attempt to remove wheel bolts or break tire beads loose until tire has been completely deflated: otherwise, explosive separation of wheel components will result. Danger Do not stand or approach here TIRE DANGER Safe Approach Area Safe Approach Area Danger Do not stand or approach here Personnel should wear protective eye gear to reduce the risk of eye injury due to inflation and deflation of tires.
