21.1.3.2 Changing the wheel
Secure the vehicle (Chapter 21.1.1).
Uncouple the caravan and apply the handbrake.
Place the wheel chocks before and behind the opposite wheel. Position the jockey wheel
at 90° to the driving direction and secure with cho cks behind and in front of the wheel.
This secures the vehicle from rolling away.
Get the spare wheel and the tools.
Remove the protective caps from the wheel nuts or the wheel cover.
Unscrew the wheel nuts or wheel bolts by half a revolution with the wheel spanner.
Position the vehicle jack and jack up the vehicle until the defective wheel is off the
ground (Chapter 21.1.3.1).
For safety, crank the corner steadies down to the ground without load. Do not use the
corner steadies for lifting the vehicle!
Screw out the wheel nuts or wheel bolts and place them onto a clean surface. Make sure
the threads are clean.
Change the wheel.
Clean the threads, turn in the wheel nuts or bolts and tighten by hand.
Stow the defective wheel in the spare wheel support.
Lower the vehicle and remove the vehicle jack.
Tighten the wheel nuts crosswise (Chapter 21.1.4).
Stow the tools and the safety equipment.
Check the tyre pressure at the next opportunity.
After driving approx. 50 km, check the seating of the wheel nuts or bolts and tighten.
Warning!
Risk of injury when the vehicle rolls away
Perform the wheel change only when the vehicle has been secured.
Caution!
Unsafe wheel attachment
Always use the correct wheel bolts.
For light-metal rims, different wheel bolts (diameter, length) can be used than for steel
rims. Ensure the bolts are not interchanged.
