WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3- 9
WARNING:
Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp
edges. Handle them carefully to avoid pos-
sible severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into place, be sure
that there is nothing on the hub or wheel
(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes
with the wheel fitting solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface between
the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could
loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of control of the
vehicle. This may cause serious injury or
death.

6. Changing Wheels
Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with
your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel
on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the
holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto
them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and
get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the top
stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until
the wheel can be slid over the other studs.

7. Re-install Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs,
put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with
their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle
the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.
