More safe operating procedures for multi-piece
rim wheels are listed below:
- After tire inflation, the tire and wheel must be inspected while still within the
restraining device to make sure that they are properly seated and locked. If further
adjustment is necessary, the tire must be deflated by removing the valve core before the
adjustment is made
- An attempt must not be made to correct the seating of side and lock rings by hammering,
striking, or forcing the components while the tire is pressurized
- Cracked, broken, bent, or otherwise damaged wheel components must not be reworked,
welded, brazed, or otherwise heated. Heat must not be applied to a multi- piece wheel
- Whenever multi-piece rim wheels are being handled, employees must stay out of the trajectory
unless the employer can show that performance of the servicing makes the employee's
presence in the trajectory necessary.
