- 52 - 8.14 Notices on Tire Storage As a basic rule, tires shall be stored in a warehouse where any one can not enter into without permission. If storaging tires outdoors, set up fences around the tires and hang a label of “No entrance”. Since moisture can quicken oxidation of rubber and dirt or oil can corrode tires, the storage place of tires shall be dry and clean. When storing tires, light, heat and air circulation shall be avoided and the tires shall be covered by canvas, plastic clothing or other duster. Incorrect storage practice will adversely affect quality and service lifes of tires. The tires shall be placed on level ground vertically and be chocked firmly by wedge blocks so that unapproved touch will not make them fall down. If they are placed horizontally, the tires will be pressed flattened and their quality deteriorated. At least once of rotation (of 90°) shall be made for each tire.
When tires are falling down, get away quickly. Tires of construction machinery are very heavy, severe injuries may be caused if attempting to hold it.
