• You must be careful, because the nitrogen pressure can

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
cause an injury to persons or damage to the helicopter.
• The materials that follow are dangerous. Make sure that you
know all the safety precautions and first aid instructions for
these materials:
• Cleaning solvent
• Grease
• When filling the tires make sure that all the equipment and the
tools are clean. Hydraulic fluid, oil, dirt or grease can cause
an explosion.
NOTE
Make sure that all the pressure gauges on the tire inflation rig
are serviceable. Read the label on the pressure gauges and
make sure that the test date is satisfactory.
Make sure that you do not inflate the tires too much. If you do
not obey this instruction you can cause an explosion and
possibly cause an injury to persons.
NOTE
Inflate the tire slowly and with a continuous increase in pressure
until the tire is at the correct pressure. It is dangerous to inflate the
tire too quickly as this can cause an explosion.

• When you use the nitrogen make sure that:

• The equipment and the tools have no dirt, grease or oil on
them.
• The valve that supplies high pressure to components is
opened slowly to prevent fast increase in the temperature
and pressure.

• All the pressure gauges are in the date of test.
