MOUNTING AND INFLATION
Jacking Up the Vehicle
1. Chock the wheels opposite the jack.
2. Jack up the vehicle.
3. Crib the vehicle with safety stands or blocking devices after
jacking it up. Do not work under an unblocked load.
A
DANGER
Failure to chock the wheels and crib the vehicle can result in serious injury or death.
Inspecting the Tire and Rim
A
DANGER
Always replace damaged or badly worn tires. When replacing tires, always use a replacement of
exactly the same diameter. Destroy old tires, so that they cannot be used. Using badly worn or
damaged tires can result in serious injury or death.
1. Inspect all rim parts for damage.
A
DANGER
Always replace rim parts that are bent, badly rusted, pitted from corrosion, cracked, worn, or
damaged. Destroy old rim parts, so they cannot be used. Using damaged rim parts can result in
serious injury or death.
Do not mix parts from one rim with parts from another rim. Always use replacement parts that
you can positively identify as the CORRECT replacement parts. All replacement rim parts MUST
match the replacement part numbers stamped on the rim parts. Rims with different part
numbers cannot be interchanged. If in doubt about sizing, DO NOT reassemble the rim. Contact
the rim manufacturer for more information.
2. Replace damaged parts.
A
DANGER
Never weld on an inflated or partially inflated tire/rim assembly. Welding on an inflated tire/rim
assembly can cause an explosion and serious injury or death.
Do not rework, weld, heat, or braze any rim parts for any reason. Reworking and welding
damaged parts can result in serious injury or death.
