For this operation, we recommend you to use the MANITOU hydraulic jack
Reference 505507 and the MANITOU safety axle stand Reference 554772.
- If possible, stop the platform on firm, horizontal ground.
- Stop the platform (see : 1 - INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY REGULA-
TIONS : OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EMPTY AND LOADED).
- Lock the platform in both directions on the axle opposite the wheel to be
changed.
- Loosen the nuts on the wheel to be changed until they can be easily remo-
ved.
- Place the jack under the axle housing, as close to the wheel as possible
and adjust the jack (fig. G2/1).
- Lift the wheel slightly until it leaves the ground and set the safety axle
stand under the axle (fig. G2/2).
A wheel weighs 210 Kg.
- Loosen the wheelnuts fully and remove them.
- Remove the wheel using a to and fro movement and roll it to the side.
- Slide the new wheel onto the hub.
- Tighten the nuts by hand, lubricating them if necessary.
- Remove the safety axle stand and lower the platform using the jack.
- Tighten the wheelnuts using a torque wrench (see: 3. MAINTENANCE: B -
