In cold weather, ice may form
on the floor. Care should be
taken while walking.
For the repair process of the
malfunctioning product, fol-
low the instructions given by
the manufacturer of that pro-
duct in the user manual.
7.7.2. Spare Tire Replacement
Wheel nuts that are not tighte-
ned properly will loosen. This
may cause accidents. Tighten
the wheel nuts to the specified
torque. You can find the tor-
que
values
in
the
manufacturer's
manual
for
"Axles". Check the tightness
of the nuts immediately after
each tire change.
Removing the tire:
•
Park the vehicle in a safe place
away from traffic.
•
Secure the vehicle with wheel
chocks against rolling away or tip-
ping over.
•
Apply the springloaded parking
brake. (See: "Construction Compo-
nents and Use of Semi-trailer" for
detailed information.)
Lock the tractor securely to
prevent spontaneous or unin-
tentional movement
of the
tractor during tire changing
•
Loosen the wheel nuts only one
turn.
•
Place the lever jack under the axle
as close as possible to the tire to be
replaced.
•
Raise the axle until the tire to be re-
placed is no longer in contact with
the ground. Remove the wheel nuts.
Take the damaged wheel off
the axle, grab the wheel only
by the right and left cheeks,
never remove it by holding the
top or bottom.
Remove the spare tire from its holder.
See spare tire holder section for detailed
information.
Fitting The Spare Tire:
•
Position the spare tire as close to
the wheel hub as possible.
•
Lightly oil the nut threads when refit-
ting the wheel.
•
Insert a bar directly under the tire
and push the wheel bolts into the
holes of the rim by leveraging. Be
careful not to damage the threads of
the studs during this process.
•
Tighten the wheel nuts as much as
possible by hand tightening.
•
Tighten the nuts with the wrench in
the order shown in the picture.
•
Lower the jack and tighten the
wheel nuts in the same sequence
with the required torque. Repeat this
process after the first 80 km and dai-
ly for the first week.
•
Check the wheel nuts for torque
every week.
Possible problems that may
arise in the future can be pre-
vented by checking all the bolt
holes on the rims against ova-
lization at regular intervals.
Excessive tightening of the nuts of the
wheel bolts will cause radial deforma-
tions around the hole, and if not tight-
ened enough, it will cause deformations
around the hole.
