Inspect the Tyre and Rim

Check the tyre and rim for any damage that might have occurred during fitting or when it deflated.

⚠️ Hazard

Damaged components may fail under pressure.

✅ Control Measure 

Do not proceed if damage is found; report and replace damaged parts.

Positioning the Tyre

Position the tyre vertically, with the valve at the top of the rim, and secure it.

⚠️ Hazard

Tyre may fall or shift during inflation.

✅ Control Measure

Use wheel chocks or restraints to stabilize the tyre.

Attaching Air Hose

Attach the air hose securely by pushing the air chuck firmly in and down.

⚠️ Hazard

Manual handling of air hose will expose worker to blast zone.

✅ Control Measure

Use the correct chuck and monitor the tyre pressure by using the remote inflation system to stay clear of the tyre.

Inflate the Tyre

Inflate the tyre slowly to the recommended pressure.

⚠️ Hazard

Rapid inflation may cause the tyre burst.

✅ Control Measure

Monitor the pressure closely and inflate gradually by using the remote inflation system to stay clear of the tyre.

Stand Clear

Stand clear of the trajectory zone during inflation.

⚠️ Hazard

Tyre explosion or component ejection.

✅ Control Measure

Remain outside the blast zone (at least 3 meters) and use barriers if available.

A good idea is to park the ute 3 meters away as you will have to stand by it to use the tyre pressure monitor system. 

Check Pressure

Check final pressure and inspect for leaks.

⚠️ Hazard

Under or over-inflation, air leaks.

✅ Control Measure

Use calibrated gauge and correct leak detection methods.
