Safety Precautions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing a tire. The wheel(s) resting on the ground could cause the vehicle to move. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING: The tire and wheel must always be correctly matched. It is very important to determine the size of each component before any assembly operations commence. Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in an explosive separation and cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING: Aftermarket aerosol tire sealants are extremely flammable. Always question the customer to make sure these products have not been used. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Aftermarket wheel assemblies may not be compatible with the vehicle. Use of incompatible wheel assemblies can result in equipment failure and possible injury. Use only approved wheel assemblies. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Use only wheels and wheel nuts that have been designed for current model Ford trucks. Aftermarket wheels or wheel nuts may not fit or function correctly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield when carrying out any work with the tire and wheel assemblies. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Keep eyes away from valve stem when deflating tires. Reduce air pressure in tire as much as possible by pushing in valve core plunger prior to removing the core. Escaping air can carry particles that can injure the eyes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not clean aluminum wheels with steel wool, abrasive-type cleaners or strong detergents or damage to the wheel finish may occur. Use Wheel and Tire Cleaner ZC-27-A or -B or equivalent.

When carrying out any inspection or repair procedures on wheels and tires, follow the preceding safety precautions.
