MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Failure to follow the procedures can cause the wheel
assembly to explode and cause injury or death.
Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel before in-
stalling the tire. DO NOT use any damaged or re-
paired wheel parts. Wheels that have been repaired
can explode when air pressure is added to the tire or
during operation. Make sure that all parts of the
wheel are the correct parts for the wheel assembly.
Do not mix parts between different types or manufac-
turers of wheels. Do not mix type of tires, type of tire
tread or wheel assemblies of different manufacturers
on any one lift truck.
Do not use a steel hammer on the wheel. Use a rub-
ber, lead, plastic or brass hammer to put parts to-
gether. Make sure that the side ring is in the correct
position. The ends of the side ring must not touch.
The clearance at the ends of the side ring must be 2.5
to 6.5 mm (0.1 to 0.25 in) after air pressure is added
to the tire. If the clearance is wrong, the wrong part
has been used.
1. Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel. If the wheel
has rust or corrosion, remove loose rust and corrosion
and paint the parts.
2. Install a new inner tube and flap in the tire. Inner tubes
and flaps that have been used in earlier service can
cause tire failure. (Some inner tubes also require a
backup washer on the valve stem.)
WARNING
Do not lubricate the tire bead with anti--freeze or pe-
troleum based liquid. Vapors from these liquids can
cause an explosion when air pressure is added or
when the tire is in use.
3. Apply a rubber lubricant or a soap solution to the tire
bead and tube.
4. Make sure that the rim is the correct size for the tire.
Lubricate the parts of the rim that engage the bead and
flap.
