Install the Wheel in the Tire
(See Install Wheel in Tire, Three- or Four-Piece Wheel
and Install Wheel in Tire, Two-Piece Wheel)
WARNING
Failure to follow these procedures will cause damage
to the tire and wheel assembly and can cause an injury.
•
Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel before installing
the tire.
•
DO NOT use any damaged or repaired wheel parts.
•
Make sure that all parts of the wheel are the correct
parts for that wheel assembly.
•
DO NOT mix parts between different types or manufac-
turers of wheels.
•
DO NOT mix types 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
together. Make sure that the lock ring is in the correct
position. The ends of the lock ring must not touch. The
clearance at the ends of the lock ring will be approxi-
mately 13 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1.0 in.) after it is installed. If
the clearance is wrong, the wrong part has been used.
NOTE:
There are two types of wheels used on this series
. Make sure you use the correct
procedure.
1.
Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel. Paint any parts
that have rust or corrosion.
2.
Install a new inner tube in the tire. Used tubes and flaps
can cause tire failure.
WARNING
DO NOT lubricate the tire bead with antifreeze or petro-
leum-based liquid. Vapors from these liquids can
cause an explosion during inflation or use.
3.
Apply a rubber lubricant or a soap solution to the tire
bead and tube.
4.
Install a new tire flap.
