A:
To avoid serious personal injury, you should not stand over the tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. You can't exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if the beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury.
