- Use of Force: Operating the hydraulic press and ensuring the tire is securely pressed onto the hub requires the application of force and precision, adding to the physical strain.
- Postural Stress: The need to work in various positions, including bending, squatting, or leaning, can strain muscles and joints, particularly in the back, shoulders, and arms.
